Evernorth Taps Ripple, Kraken, Coinbase, BitGo for $648M XRP Treasury

The notable element is the partner roster rather than the treasury size: a custodian, two exchanges and Ripple itself spanning custody, execution and lending rails suggests XRP is being packaged into a yield-bearing institutional product, not just held. That matters for XRP holders because it signals where post-listing corporate treasuries may go next, and for the venues named, which get recurring flow. Whether the phased lending actually deploys, and how the counterparty and custody split is governed across four firms, is the open question.
