Evernorth shifts $280M in XRP as Nasdaq listing nears, sparking speculation while XRP price dips despite Rippleโs strong week of partnerships and funding.
Massive 126M+ XRP transfer tied to Evernorth stirs market questions, but analysts say itโs routine treasury moves as XRP struggles below key support.
The crypto market has been shaky this week, and XRP has been right in the spotlight. A large transaction involving more than $280 million worth of XRP has drawn attention and raised questions about what might be coming next. While investors remain hopeful after recent positive Ripple developments, the latest wallet activity from Evernorth Holdings adds uncertainty to the market.
Massive XRP Movement Sparks Speculation
Blockchain tracking platform Whale Alert detected a transfer of 126,791,448 XRP, worth more than $280 million. At first, the transfer appeared to be a whale relocation between unknown wallets. However, deeper analysis revealed that both wallets belong to Evernorth Holdings, a Ripple-backed XRP treasury entity.
The receiving wallet was newly created on November 5 using BitGo custody services. This signals that Evernorth may be reorganizing or preparing funds for a strategic purpose. The primary wallet still holds more than 261 million XRP, while the new wallet now holds over 126 million XRP. Since Evernorth added more than 84 million XRP earlier this week, the company now controls around 473 million XRP, worth over $1 billion.
Crypto analyst XR Trader commented that the transfer should not be seen as a bullish or bearish signal by itself. He explained that large transfers like this are often routine and may be related to custody changes or internal treasury organization rather than market manipulation or selling activity. According to him, the impact of transfers is seen later, through changes in actual liquidity, not through headline transactions.
Evernorthโs Nasdaq Plans
The transfer comes just as Evernorth moves closer to its major business milestone. Evernorth is merging with Armada Acquisition Corp II to become a publicly traded company on Nasdaq, where the new stock ticker will be XRPN. Ripple will send 126,791,458 XRP to the company and receive XRPN shares in return on a one-for-one basis. After the merger, Evernorth will position itself as the largest XRP treasury firm in the world.
This merger follows a strong week for Ripple, where CEO Brad Garlinghouse announced that Ripple raised $500 million at a $40 billion valuation, with investment participation from leading financial firms, along with a new partnership with Mastercard.
XRP Price Weakens Despite Positive Headlines
Even with major progress from Ripple and Evernorth, XRPโs price dropped. The coin fell more than 4 percent, dipping below the $2.20 support zone, and briefly touching $2.19. Trading volume shrank by more than 12 percent, showing declining interest from short-term traders. Futures data from Coinglass also shows a reduction in leveraged positions as open interest dropped nearly 5 percent, signaling fading confidence.
For now, the market is watching Evernorth closely. Internal treasury reshuffling is normal, but the size of this transfer and the upcoming Nasdaq listing bring anticipation. As long as the broader market stays weak, XRP may continue to feel pressure. A move back above $2.50 would show signs of strength and renewed buyer momentum.
