Standard Chartered Sees 70x Upside in Arbitrum Token by 2030

Standard Chartered has initiated coverage of Arbitrum (ARB), predicting its token will reach $10 by the end of 2030. This represents a staggering 70 times the current price, exceeding even the bank's forecasts for Ethereum and Bitcoin over the same horizon.

The investment firm views Arbitrum as a vital layer 2 infrastructure provider for traditional finance, with rising on-chain activity expected to boost both its revenue and valuation.

One key example highlighted by Standard Chartered is Robinhood Chain, which has seen Arbitrum take 10% of the net protocol revenue generated through the service. After launching in July 2026, Arbitrum's revenue could reach around $5 million in September, more than five times its pre-launch run rate.

Standard Chartered also expects tokenized assets to reach $4 trillion by the end of 2028, which it believes will drive higher Arbitrum revenue and push its market-cap-to-fees multiple closer to layer 1 levels.
