Evernorth Bolsters Board Ahead of Planned US Public Listing

Evernorth, the world's largest $XRP treasury firm, has taken a significant step towards its planned US public listing by appointing four high-profile directors to its board.

The new board members bring a wealth of experience in crypto regulation, accounting, institutional investing, and digital asset operations. They include Stuart Alderoty, Ripple's Chief Legal Officer (CLO), who brings extensive regulatory expertise; Robert Kaiden, former Twitter executive and OpenAI Foundation CFO, who will contribute financial leadership experience; Ted Janus, a principal at J Capital with over three decades of institutional investing experience; and Derar Islim, former COO and interim CEO of Genesis Global Trading.

These appointments are expected to enhance Evernorth's ability to navigate complex compliance landscapes, improve financial transparency and reporting standards, support disciplined treasury management, and provide valuable insight into crypto market cycles and restructuring dynamics. The new board will be led by CEO Asheesh Birla, who has stated the company's ambition to operate at the intersection of traditional finance and blockchain infrastructure.

Evernorth is also expanding its executive team with the appointment of Boris Kapeller as Chief Risk Officer and Charles Stewart as Chief Communications Officer. This move underscores the company's commitment to robust risk oversight and clear strategic communication.
