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.

Goodnow, revolutionaries—

Today we welcome artist Joe Mangrum to the show! Joe’s ephemeral sand paintings have taken him across the globe—including to Sesame Street—and for several years he's brought the same creative spirit onchain. We dive into his journey from physical art to NFTs, the story behind his Bored Ape alter ego “Chef Pancho Poppins,” and how he’s using digital tools to enhance provenance and bridge the gap between physical and digital work.

Joe shares practical tools for artists exploring onchain creativity, like Manifold Studio and Glyph—and tells us how you can support his upcoming book release with crypto or fiat.

In the second half of the show, Will gives an update on tariffs, Alex shares his frustration over the U.S. administration's approach to foreign policy (and the new TikTok app), and the team breaks down the movement of a dormant whale wallet that sent 10,000 BTC in one transaction.

Don’t forget: Rise Up: Market Watch goes live TONIGHT at 7pm CT / 12am UTC—join Will & Doug for clear, practical insights on macro trends, technical analysis, and how big-picture forces impact crypto.
