Rate Cuts, Heatmaps, and Solana’s Western Union Win, + AleXRP & Captain Arrrrculus | Ep 398
Description
Goodnow revolutionaries–
It’s the Rise Up Halloween Special! AleXRP (Evan), Captain Arrrrculus (Alex), and Will (the scariest costume of all—a man with a million costumes wearing none) take your crypto questions and break down a wild week in markets and memes.
We start with the TON Network, give an XRP update for a new listener, and dive into Western Union’s decision to adopt Solana for their crypto rails—why that move makes sense, and what incentives drive companies to fund development and hype their own ecosystems. Will walks us through the Fed’s latest rate cut decision, shows why the liquidity heatmap first looked bearish then bullish, and explains how you can read it yourself. We close with a few call-ins from longtime listeners—and a surprise visit from Alex’s long-lost cousin.
