Good now, revolutionaries—

Today on the Rise Up Morning Show, Will and Evan push Alex's buttons and we all prepare to ride our dogs and ponies off into the sunset for a week—we’ll resume live broadcasts on Monday, July 28th. In the meantime, you can catch up with past episodes, free resources, or start a premium membership trial at theriseupmorningshow.com—and don’t forget to drop in to the Discord community!

On today’s show, Will shares a macro update including a look at record ETH ETF inflows. We peek at tools for finding stablecoin and RWA volume, including a new feature on DeFiLlama; and break down what moved forward yesterday in Congress on the GENIUS Act, Clarity Act, and the anti-CBDC surveillance bill.

Plus:
– We answer "How did you guys meet?"
– A preview of the new Rise Up Circle community (a safer, more permanent home than Discord, coming soon)
– Will onboards his barber to $PENGU

Thank you, as always, for being the very best part of what we do! We look forward to hearing your live questions, suggestions, good jokes, and words of wisdom again soon.

Goodnow, revolutionaries—

Tonight on Rise Up After Dark, Uniswap lets us down. Give their video a watch and share your honest (but nice!) feedback with them here.

In better TikTok news, our friend Adriano (@TechnicallyWeb3) updates Ethereum to ISO 20022 compliance in less than a minute.

Alex gives an update on “Crypto Week” in Congress: the GENIUS, Clarity, and Anti-Surveillance Acts; Will walks us through Base’s New Day One event & the big reveal of The Base App (TBA); and Evan man(n)s the soundboard, double-fists morning show mugs, and even gets the name of the program right—DING! 🛎️

PLUS:

• A live walkthrough of DeFiLlama
• Explaining Total Value Locked (TVL), revenue, and how to evaluate a DeFi project
• The difference between permission-less and permission-ed blockchains
• And a persistent rumor in the XRP, XLM, and XDC communities that’s leading people into scams

🎉 Congrats to Sherlack_ and Sittrr for winning tonight’s prizes—if that’s you, message us in the Discord to claim it.

Will and Doug are back with a sharp look at the markets after Bitcoin’s new all-time high. They kick things off with a look at silver, gold, and Bitcoin, unpacking how traditional assets are behaving alongside the crypto market.

Then, Will shares his 8-Year Bitcoin Cycle Theory—a bold (or brazen?) idea inspired by gold’s price history after its ETF launch. Could Bitcoin be following a similar long-term pattern?

Doug breaks down the Pump.Fun ($PUMP) token launch, shares the latest on memecoin market activity, and together they review a slate of your altcoin chart requests, with insights for short-term traders and long-term believers.

Also: what exactly is a “Swale” and why are they moving the markets?

It’s Web3 101 Wednesday—and today you get "the talk": what crypto actually is, why it might matter to you, personally, and how to get started safely, confidently.

Alex and Evan start with a quick history of the internet (from Web1 to Web3) then unpack the jargon and practical steps you'll take to go from total beginner to owning your first crypto assets.

Driven by conversation with our live audience, we share the tools and tactics we’d use if we were starting from scratch, and answer your questions like:

-What exchange would we use today?
-How do you go from an app like Coinbase or Robinhood to actually using crypto onchain?
-Which wallets are best for safety and exploration?
-And how can you avoid scams as you start to participate in the decentralized web?

Whether you’re new to the space or just need a model for how to talk about crypto with others, this episode is packed with practical answers and helpful knowledge.

Goodnow, revolutionaries—

Today on The Rise Up Morning Show, we cover a packed slate of crypto news, updates, and practical education for learners at every level.

We kick things off with the rising trend of corporate ETH treasuries, spotlighting Sharplink’s recent decision to hold Ethereum on their balance sheet. Then we move to Washington, where Crypto Week in Congress brings momentum to legislation like the GENIUS Act, the CLARITY Act, and a new anti-CBDC surveillance bill—we explore what these bills mean, and where they stand now.

We also unpack yesterday’s news that FedWire is adopting ISO 20022 messaging standards… so, why aren’t the so-called "ISO tokens" pumping?

PLUS:
– We walk through how to check your Katana rewards
– Will makes a case for upgrading the concept of Bitcoin’s “4-Year Cycle” to an 8-Year Supercycle
– An explosion of $PUMP perps/options and what it might mean for their rumored airdrop
– Our favorite news sources and newsletters (links below)
– Audience questions about exchanges, self-custody wallets, and common scam tactics

Whether you're wondering what to buy, where to store it, or what it all means—get ready to Rise Up!

Goodnow, revolutionaries—

We’re still riding the wave of yesterday’s Bitcoin all-time high, and today’s show is packed with practical education for crypto learners of all levels.

Alex kicks things off with a workshop on how to take profits—even on a position in the red—by capitalizing on volatility and tracking longterm trends. We break it down using Ethereum and Solana as case studies to show how smart moves in a sideways market can still bring gains.

Then Will joins to answer one of our most frequently-asked questions: wen altcoin season?! He shares what the reversal in Bitcoin dominance might mean for altcoins—and we pull up the charts on Chainlink, Algorand, and Virtuals to spot signals that could point to upside opportunities.

We also:
– Answer audience questions about XCN and ZBEC
– Break down what Layer 1, Layer 2, and Layer 3 actually mean
– Compare self-custody to centralized exchanges like Coinbase
– And wrap with a live Q&A on private keys, plus a powerful discussion on why crypto matters in the first place

If you’ve ever struggled to explain why people might care about crypto—this is the episode to share.
