Evernorth says daily activity on the XRP Ledger has climbed to nearly 3 
million transactions, up from about 1 million in mid-2025, and the firm is now 
pointing to banks and other financial companies as the next source of demand. 
Real Banks Are Moving In According to the XRP-focused treasury company, some 
of the busiest names on the network over the past year include Bitstamp, 
Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin, and Braza Bank. The firm says that kind of traffic 
shows more than trader interest, with real financial activity taking place on 
the ledger. Related Reading: XRP Dips In The Short Run, But A Bigger Setup May 
Be Forming: Analyst Asheesh Birla, Evernorth’s chief executive, has argued 
that XRP’s long-term value will come from banks and businesses using it as 
working capital rather than treating it as a coin to trade. He has also said 
the gap between adoption and price remains wide, even as usage and

institutions to access. Instead of forcing banks and asset managers to deal 
with wallets, private keys, and compliance systems on their own, the company 
is offering exposure through its own stock. The structure echoes the model 
used by several public companies that have built large Bitcoin holdings and 
given investors a familiar market wrapper. Evernorth has said that approach 
can make XRP easier for institutions to hold, fund, and use. 5/6 When a 
globally important bank picks public blockchains to host its regulated euro, 
that&#8217;s a vote about which networks they think will host the next phase of 
money. XRP was one of four chains that made that shortlist. — evernorthxrp

Kraken, Pantera Capital, and SBI Holdings, with total funding topping $1 
billion. Its S-4 filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission,
