- Evernorth Delays XRPN Nasdaq Listing to October 12 Amid Administrative Issues
Evernorth, a company with a significant stake in 
XRP, has delayed its planned Nasdaq listing, which was expected to begin on October 12. The delay is attributed to administrative issues, according to Cointribune and CryptoSlate.
The decision comes amid significant market volatility, with Armada Acquisition Corp. II, the special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) that is taking Evernorth public, experiencing a sharp decline in its share price. The stock, which trades under the ticker XRPN, closed at $19.20 on Tuesday, down 50.3% from $38.65 the day before, as reported by CryptoSlate citing data from StockAnalysis.
The timing of the delay coincides with two major upgrades to the XRP Ledger, although the activation of these upgrades does not guarantee an increase in XRP's price. XRP is currently trading at $1.42, marking a 5.48% decrease in the last 24 hours and a 5.04% decline over the past week, according to live market data.
The broader cryptocurrency market is also experiencing a downturn, with the total market cap at $2.9 trillion and 
Bitcoin down 2.52% in the last 24 hours. The Fear & Greed Index stands at 71, indicating a state of 'Greed' among investors.
The delay of Evernorth's listing could have implications for XRP's market performance and investor sentiment. The upcoming XRP Ledger upgrades, while not directly linked to the listing, add an additional layer of uncertainty to the situation. Investors will be watching closely to see how these developments unfold in the coming weeks.
