Standard Chartered Predicts $10 Price for Arbitrum Token by 2030

Standard Chartered has initiated coverage of Arbitrum's $ARB token, setting a target price of $10 by the end of 2030. This is about 66 times the current trading price of approximately $0.15. The bank also forecasts a staircase of prices: $0.50 by the end of 2026, $1.50 in 2027, $3.50 in 2028, $6.50 in 2029, and then the target of $10 in 2030.

The analysts at Standard Chartered expect Arbitrum to outperform both Bitcoin and Ethereum over this period, although they acknowledge that token holders will capture little direct value from the revenue underpinning their call.

The bank cites Robinhood Chain's push into Arbitrum revenue as a key factor in their optimism. In July, Arbitrum launched its Expansion Program, which provides a 10% cut of net protocol revenue to any chain built using Arbitrum tech that settles outside of Arbitrum One or Nova under the program.

Standard Chartered estimates that Arbitrum will rake in about $5 million in Expansion Program fees this month at an average daily fee revenue rate of $2.8 million in the first two weeks of September. The bank forecasts a massive increase in tokenized assets, expecting the value of assets flowing on-chain to reach $4 trillion by 2030, with tokenized equities alone expected to be $750 billion.
