Goodnow, Revolutionaries--

Will and Alex drive through a market update now that things are down (hear why Will expects them to be down longer before we recover) and the macro conditions that keep us bullish, big picture.

We cover key headlines like upcoming ETF staking developments and fresh moves in the ETP space and dig into the possibility of ETF custodians exploring Bitcoin DeFi strategies to generate yield. Alex shares why revenue (vs. TVL) is the "master metric" that matters for crypto projects, pulling onchain insights from DeFiLlama.

Will leaves early and Alex flies solo to answer community questions--diving into Aster, sharing his trading strategy and profit-taking approach, and offering some grounded, practical market advice before riding his dogs and ponies into the weekend.

Goodnow revolutionaries–

Is the market primed for recovery? Will leads us through the technical analysis including a gap on Bitcoin’s chart and Glassnode’s liquidation heat map—explaining how it works, the settings we use, and where we’re expecting Bitcoin (and the broader crypto market) to move next.

We also share insights on Bitcoin-backed loans featuring Strike’s product and share other crypto-native borrowing options from Aave, Morpho, and Lido. Alex responds to a listener request for a review of Dynachain and its $DCAI token—does it deserve a closer look or a hard pass?

To close, we break big bullish news: SWIFT is officially partnering with Consensys to build a blockchain solution on Ethereum (cue the XRP army reaction).

Goodnow revolutionaries–

Tonight on Rise Up After Dark, Evan & Alex are joined by our friends David “Dawufi” Finkelstein and Sophie DeMolay from Opacity—in Sophie’s very first livestream (ever)! We dive into Opacity’s mission to make zk accessible (verify anything!), then put Sophie’s marketing eye and Dawufi’s vibemastery to the test by “wine bottling” audience picks like Linea and Plasma.

From there we highlight some of our favorite projects—Bracky (sports betting on social), Remix (vibecode and play video games in a social feed), Daisy (earn from your social experience), and more.

We also help a viewer with a real-time scam, and Sophie shares her tips for how crypto projects can tell a better story.

If you or someone you love is caught in a pig butchering scam, check the signs and report at ic3.gov and don’t go it alone—join our community at community.rumshq.com. It’s the perfect place to ask a question, get a second opinion, or help from us and other crypto users.

And remember: no legitimate creator will ever message you first on social media--even if they appear to be someone you follow or trust!
