We’re honored to welcome SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce back to Rise Up for her first public conversation since the government shutdown. The last time we spoke—over a year ago—was in 2024, before a new regime at the SEC, the Crypto Task Force, and the passage of the GENIUS Act changed the landscape for digital assets. Today, we catch up on the state of crypto regulation, lessons from the past year, and what it all means for everyday users, builders, and investors. Don’t miss this though...

Goodnow revolutionaries— Today on The Rise Up Morning Show we welcomed back Dr. Adam Lowe, founder of Arculus, for a deeply technical session on what still holds crypto adoption back.

Adam walked us through how Arculus tackles these bottlenecks with rate aggregation, global-friendly on-ramps, and...
