How Genius Kneecaps The Fed While You Pay More | Ep 411

Goodnow revolutionaries– Bitcoin dominance is lying to you. ETF buyers only had one coin to buy and one coin to sell—so when dominance drops, it doesn't mean altcoin season anymore. Will breaks down why the old playbook is dead. USD1 is the only stablecoin that actually passes the Genius Act requirements. Not USDC. Not Tether. Convenient timing? We walk through how this kneecaps the Fed and transfers treasury custody to private companies. Companies are playing cat-and-mouse with tariffs, y...

DCA Without the Drama + Jito's Dual Token Play | Ep 422

JitoSOL pays you for staking, JTO gets you into governance, and they just shifted their whole restaking strategy. We walk through what changed and why it matters.

Goodnow revolutionaries– Will and Alex hold it down while Evan's on the road. Red solo cups make their appearance. Third show of the day, we're all pooped.

We break down what Bitcoin, ETH, and USDC as derivatives collateral means for capital velocity. Coinbase just integrated into PNC Bank. We walk through w...

We’re honored to welcome SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce back to Rise Up for her first public conversation since the government shutdown.
