Goodnow, revolutionaries—
Today the theme is "reunion" on The Rise Up Morning Show as Evan, Alex, & Will are finally back together after Evan’s vacation.

We celebrate Bitcon's new all time high; debrief the current status of the GENIUS Act, and debate the implications--whether yield-bearing stablecoins might be on thin ice. Then, a lively discussion on payment streaming and, specifically, Zebec (ZBCN), where Alex does not mince words about refusing to "slobber on [other people's] bags." Plus, Will gives a technical analysis of Bitcoin’s climb to its all-time high, breaking down the odd movements that have traders scratching their heads.

In the second half of the show, we welcome a true crypto OG—William Quigley, cofounder of Tether and WAX. William shares his insights on the news of the day, offers a crisp definition of tokenization, shares what he's working on, and explains why blockchains are bad at most things—and which problems they actually do solve.
