II. The appointments come as Evernorth builds a public-company strategy designed to enable institutional adoption of <span>XRP<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Stuart Alderoty, Ripple\u2019s chief legal officer, is expected to join Evernorth\u2019s board after the business combination closes. Alderoty has served as Ripple\u2019s chief legal officer since 2019 and has served as president of the National <span>Cryptocurrency<\/span> Association since 2025. His earlier experience includes legal roles at CIT Group Inc., HSBC North America Holdings Inc., and American Express Company. Evernorth CEO Asheesh Birla commented:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAs Evernorth prepares to operate as a public company, we are building a leadership team with the institutional credibility this model requires.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>Evernorth Builds Public <span>XRP<\/span> Strategy<\/h2>\n<p>The XRP-focused treasury company also identified several other expected board members and executive hires whose backgrounds span finance, risk, communications, and digital assets. Dr. Derar Islim is expected to bring experience in digital asset market structure and institutional credit from roles at Antalpha and Genesis Global Trading. Ted Janus adds more than 30 years of investment experience, including work at J Capital and Palo Alto Investors. Robert Kaiden brings financial leadership experience from roles including Chief Financial Officer of the OpenAI Foundation and former Chief Accounting Officer of Twitter. On the executive side, Boris Kapeller was appointed Chief Risk Officer, while Charles Stewart was appointed Chief Communications Officer.<\/p>\n<p>The company said the leadership changes are meant to support Evernorth\u2019s transition into a potential public digital asset treasury. After completing its combination with Armada II, a Nasdaq-listed special purpose acquisition company, Evernorth intends to offer investors exposure to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/xrp\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">XRP<\/a> through a regulated, liquid, and transparent structure. Unlike ETFs, Evernorth intends to actively grow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/xrp\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">XRP<\/a> per share through institutional and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-defi-decentralized-finance\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DeFi<\/a> yield strategies, ecosystem participation, and capital markets activities.
