Standard Chartered Sees ARB Reaching $10 by 2030 with Ambitious Price Targets

Standard Chartered's global digital asset research head Geoff Kendrick predicts that Arbitrum (ARB) will reach $10 by the end of 2030. According to his forecast, ARB's price will increase from its current level of around $0.21 to 48 times that amount by 2030. The predicted targets for ARB's price are: $0.5 in 2026, $1.5 in 2027, $3.5 in 2028, and $6.5 in 2029.

Arbitrum is expected to generate $5 million in monthly income, a significant increase from the $900,000 it generated before the launch of Robinhood Chain on July 1st. Robinhood Chain is built on Arbitrum's platform and focuses on tokenized assets and decentralized finance applications. As part of its expansion program, 10% of protocol net revenue will be returned to Arbitrum through a DAO, with 8% going into the ArbitrumDAO treasury and 2% supporting the Arbitrum Developer Guild.

Kendrick notes that ARB does not represent ownership of on-chain assets and lacks a mechanism for direct value capture. The major risks facing this prediction include tokenization slowdowns, competitive blockchain platforms, and the absence of a direct value capture mechanism for ARB.
