XRP Community Takes Center Stage in Evernorth's Nasdaq Plans

Evernorth Puts $XRP Supporters in Its Listing Plans

$XRP supporters could have a visible role in Evernorth’s proposed Nasdaq debut. In a Sept. 23 blog post, founder and CEO Asheesh Birla said the $XRP treasury company plans to bring community members into a campaign leading up to its expected listing under XRPN. The plans include apparel, a story released in chapters, and a possible finale in Times Square.

Birla framed the campaign as recognition for people who continued building tools, answering newcomers’ questions, and supporting $XRP during difficult periods. “The list is missing you,” he wrote after describing the usual technical explanations for $XRP’s appeal. His argument is that a community built over more than a decade is harder to replicate than fast settlement or low transaction costs.

The post also points to $XRP holders’ participation in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s case against Ripple. Birla cited attorney John Deaton’s account that he submitted roughly 3,800 holder affidavits. The long-running $XRP legal dispute gives that reference its context: holders organized to make their views known while the case tested how federal securities law applied to Ripple’s $XRP transactions.
