The post Ripple News: Evernorth Plans to Expand Beyond $1 Billion as XRP Demand Surges appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
XRP has been making headlines after Ripple’s long legal battle with the SEC finally ended. New financial products, like XRP futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and multiple ETF applications, show that big investors are starting to pay closer attention. Seizing the moment, Evernorth — a digital asset company led by Asheesh Birla, has launched a $1 billion treasury business focused on XRP.
This move comes as the crypto world begins to grow up. After years of trial and error, the industry is moving toward a more stable and professional phase. The focus now is on creating tools and services that make it easier for traditional financial institutions to take part in blockchain-based systems..
Going Global
In an interview with Thinking Crypto, the CEO recently said that Evernorth’s $1 billion goal isn’t the finish line, it’s just the beginning. The company plans to raise more funds in the future and expand into global markets where XRP already has a strong following, especially in Japan and South Korea.
With backing from Ripple, SBI Holdings, Arrington XRP Capital, and other major investors, Evernorth aims to use these partnerships to strengthen XRP’s presence in Asia and beyond. Its collaboration with SBI, in particular, could help open new doors for XRP’s use in the region’s financial networks.
According to Birla, crypto’s long-term success depends on widespread institutional participation. Evernorth aims to make it easier for large investors and companies to access and hold XRP, forming part of what he calls the “adult movement” in digital assets.
“This ecosystem won’t flourish until there is broad-based adoption by institutions,” he explained. “Evernorth is one tool to help get there, making it easier to participate in the crypto economy and in the financial future being built on blockchains.”
