Standard Chartered sets $10 target for Arbitrum by 2030

Standard Chartered targets $10 for Arbitrum’s ARB by 2030, citing blockchain adoption and enterprise revenue, but warns of risks from competition and limited value accrual.

Standard Chartered has begun coverage of Arbitrum’s ARB token, setting a bold price target of $10 by the end of 2030—an almost 70-fold increase from its current price of around $0.13. The bank also outlined interim targets: $0.50 by end-2026, $1.50 by end-2027, $3.50 by end-2028, and $6.50 by end-2029. This optimistic forecast is driven by anticipated growth in blockchain adoption among traditional financial institutions, the expansion of tokenized assets, and revenue from enterprise chains like Robinhood Chain, which allocates 10% of net protocol revenue to Arbitrum. However, Standard Chartered cautions that ARB currently lacks direct value accrual mechanisms. The projection faces risks from competition, slow adoption, and limited direct value capture. The bank also expects significant growth for bitcoin and ether by 2030, emphasizing Arbitrum’s potential as an enterprise infrastructure provider and the possibility of tokenized assets reaching $4 trillion by 2028.
