ETH Price Surges as $2.9B Inflows, EthCC, and Robinhood's L2 Fuel Bullish Sentiment
Ether (ETH) 3.5% in the past 24 hours to $2,519 as of 18:59 UTC on June 30, according to CoinDesk Research's technical analysis model, supported by continued institutional demand, network upgrades, and major retail platform integrations. Institutional interest remains robust, with CoinShares reporting $429 million in net inflows into ether investment products over the past week and nearly $2.9 billion year-to-date. This trend has coincided with a declining ETH supply on exchanges and rising staking levels, with over 35 million ETH —a round 28% of the total supply — now locked in proof-of-stake contracts. Market analysts suggest that these factors are reducing liquid supply and bolstering ether's long-term investment thesis. Robinhood announced on Monday that it is developing its own Layer-2 blockchain using Arbitrum's rollup infrastructure. The network is not yet live, but the initiative will eventually support Ethereum staking, tokenized stock trading, and perpetual crypto futures. Although the L2 is under development, the decision to build it on Ethereum's rollup ecosystem is seen as a long-term vote of confidence in Ethereum's scalability roadmap. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has also introduced a new digital identity framework using zero-knowledge proofs. This system allows users to verify traits or credentials without revealing private data and is designed to help Web3 apps incorporate privacy-preserving identity systems. Analysts view this as a key step toward wider adoption of decentralized applications requiring sensitive user authentication. Meanwhile, the Ethereum Community Conference (EthCC) kicked off in Cannes, France, gathering more than 6,400 attendees and 500 speakers. The event showcases Ethereum's ongoing developer momentum through presentations on new tools, scaling strategies, and protocol improvements. Despite the positive momentum, ETH remains just below its 200-day moving average, suggesting technical barriers still exist. However, the confluence of inflows, developer progress, and scaling plans continues to support a constructive outlook. Technical Analysis Highlights Ether traded between $2,438.50 and $2,523 from June 29 19:00 to June 30 18:00, marking a 3.47% range. The largest spike occurred during the 22:00–23:00 UTC window on June 29, when ETH surged 2.9% on volume of 368,292 ETH, briefly pushing through the $2,500 barrier. On June 30 at 15:00 UTC, ETH found strong support around $2,438 on above-average volume, confirming a bullish floor. A local high of $2,523 was reached earlier in the day, establishing resistance just above the psychological $2,500 level. During the final hour from 18:00 to 18:59 UTC on June 30, ETH retraced from an intraday peak of $2,499.19 to close at $2,487.19. A sharp upward move between 18:20–18:21 saw ETH climb 1.6% on 6,318 ETH volume, stalling near $2,499. As of 20:23 UTC on June 30, ETH traded at $2,519, up 3.49% in 24 hours, signaling renewed bullish momentum into the Asia open.

The Over 100-Year Old Coffee Brand Ina Garten Depends On
Like many people, Ina Garten appreciates a good cup of coffee. She's open about the fact that, in her house, it's her husband, Jeffrey, who makes the coffee; and a fine job he does. In 2018, Garten, otherwise known as the Barefoot Contessa, shared a video on Instagram (below) of him making the perfect pot of coffee. Viewers can see him scoop the coffee out of a paper bag emblazoned with a blue truck and the name Dallis Bros. Garten confirmed in 2014 to Bon Appétit that, "The coffee I drink is from a company called Dallis Brothers." The company, founded in New York in 1913 by Russian-born brothers, Morris and Abe Dallis, began by selling its house-roasted beans door-to-door in Brooklyn and Queens by way of a horse-drawn wagon. Garten famously believes in using good ingredients, so her stamp of approval on any given item causes her fans to pay attention. While she loves the flavor of Dallis Brothers coffee in the morning (alongside her simple, go-to breakfast of Irish oatmeal), it's feasible to assume she uses the same brand in her recipes that call for brewed coffee — like her chocolate cake and coffee granita. It may even play a role in her recipes that call for ground coffee, like her coffee-rubbed New York strip steaks. Dallis Brothers Coffee makes small batch and higher-end coffees, so it's a great example of a small business that wasn't afraid to change with the times. That could help explain how it continues to thrive over 100 years after its founding. Read more: Bologna Brands That Use The Highest Quality Ingredients And The Ones You Should Avoid Ina Garten isn't one who believes in secret ingredients. On the contrary, if she puts something into one of her recipes, you can count on the fact that it's one she recommends. Not only does she share these items and brands in several of her cookbooks, she also lists many of them on her website and discusses them freely in interviews. While some of her choice brands are on the fancier end (like Urbani White Truffle Butter), others are approachable and attainable, like Libby's brand canned pumpkin and Hellman's mayonnaise. Another of Garten's favorite products, Hecker's flour, is an old New York-founded company just like Dallis Brothers Coffee. It was also founded by two brothers (John and George Hecker) who immigrated from England and began their flour business in 1842. Rao's, the company which makes Garten's preferred jarred pasta sauce, began as a restaurant in New York City in 1896 and became one of the most renowned restaurants in the city, with tables that are nearly impossible to get to this day. Even the Barefoot Contessa's favorite cookie brand, Tate's, hails from New York (Southampton, to be specific), but was founded more recently compared to these other brands (1980). Being from New York certainly isn't a prerequisite for becoming an Ina-approved product. There are plenty of brands on her list that are from other states and countries. The only question now is who makes better coffee, Alton Brown or Jeffrey Garten. For more food and drink goodness, join The Takeout's newsletter.

Trump's Treasury Secretary Disses Elon Musk After He Announces Rival Political Party
President Donald Trump's treasury secretary just told Elon Musk to stay out of politics. Cabinet member Scott Bessent took a shot at the Tesla CEO and former White House advisor after he revealed he was forming his own political party over the weekend. Speaking about Musk's time behind the federal budget slashing initiative known as the Department of Government Efficiency during Sunday's episode of CNN's 'State of the Union,' he said, 'The principles of DOGE were very popular. I think if you looked at the polling, Elon was not.' Bessent, who reportedly clashed with Musk during his time in the White House, then told the world's richest man he'd be better off concentrating on his businesses, which reportedly took a slump during his time in politics. Bessent takes a shot at Musk: "The principles of DOGE were very popular. I think if you looked at the polling, Elon was not." — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) July 6, 2025 'I believe that the boards of directors at his various companies wanted him to come back and run those companies,' he said. 'I imagine that those boards of directors did not like this announcement yesterday, and will be encouraging him to focus on his business activities, not his political activities.' After publicly falling out with Trump over the cost of his signature spending and tax cut bill, Musk announced the launch of the 'America Party' in a Saturday post on X. Calling out the so-called 'Big, Beautiful Bill's' projected $3.3 billion price tag, he wrote, 'When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy.' 'Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom,' Musk went on. The tech mogul's nascent third-party already seems to have sparked the interest of several Trump critics. Billionaire and 'Shark Tank' personality Mark Cubanreposted the announcement with a series of fireworks and fire emojis before pledging to help get the America Party on ballots. Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci also chimed in online, writing, 'I would like to meet to discuss. My DMs are open.'
