Evernorth, led by former Ripple executive Asheesh Birla, has announced plans to build a $1 billion digital asset treasury centered around XRP. The company’s goal is to simplify access to XRP for both institutional and retail investors.
By doing so, Evernorth aims to position XRP as a mainstream financial asset similar to traditional equities like Tesla or Apple stock.
Birla, appearing on the Thinking Crypto Podcast with Tony Edward, explained that Evernorth’s mission is to make XRP exposure as simple as buying shares through a brokerage account.
The company will be operating as an active digital assets treasury that holds XRP and invests it in yield-generating initiatives. The yield earned will be reinvested in the treasury to ensure that the company gets the most XRP per share.
The company has already received support from key players such as SBI Holdings, Ripple, and Arrington XRP Capital. Evernorth also targets further expansion within Asia since XRP has widespread adoption within the Japanese and South Korean markets.

Evernorth has recently made an affirmative confirmation about its intention to list on the Nasdaq exchange with the ticker symbol XRPN. The listing will be operational by the first quarter of 2026.
The company’s initial treasury fund requirement of $1 billion might also come to an end; more fundraising activities might happen after completing the initial round of fundraising, according to Birla.
As per Birla, the strategy that has been adopted by Evernorth is to use every possible market mechanism to buy XRP in an efficient and balanced manner.
The management team also has seasoned professionals who have seen various cycles in the market and are determined to ensure continued growth during adverse times.
As to organizational structure, the treasury management process carried out by the Evernorth company will use traditional and DeFi models in terms of revenue creation.
The company seeks to connect traditional financial resources with DeFi solutions on the XRP Ledger; this will enable development in the ecosystem and more liquidity to flow to the XRP Ledger.
Birla pointed out that Evernorth’s bigger picture is to accelerate the adoption of digital assets by institutions. The company’s strategy has one difference from exchange-traded funds (ETFs); it is actively managed rather than static.
ETFs are designed to be passive investment instruments; however, the DAT digital asset treasury will enable continuous reinvestment of earnings to increase the portfolio.
The establishment of Evernorth marks the significant integration of XRP within the financial sector.
The improving regulatory environment within the U.S. and the opening up of international markets indicate that there is institutional confidence in financial infrastructures built on blockchain technology.
The company believes that such a structured treasury system will form the basis for the next level of adoption of XRP.
