Evernorth CEO Says XRP Has an Important Role in On-Chain Finance

Evernorth Holdings Inc. CEO Asheesh Birla said the company chose XRP as the foundation of its digital-asset treasury, describing Bitcoin as limited for on-chain activity and XRP as important to on-chain finance. In a podcast interview, Birla said Bitcoin can be moved or held but offers little activity on blockchain networks. “With BTC, you can move, you can hold, but you can’t really do much on-chain,” he said. Birla said financial markets are shifting toward on-chain activity, prompting institutions to tokenize assets and assess blockchain-based trading for global finance.
