Standard Chartered publishes a bullish outlook for Arbitrum, projecting that the network’s ARB token could rise to about $10 by the end of 2030—roughly a 70-fold increase from current levels, according to the articles.
The bank ties its forecast to expectations that wider tokenization will increase activity on Arbitrum. Both outlets describe a scenario in which traditional finance firms move more functions onchain, making Arbitrum a preferred venue. CoinDesk adds that Standard Chartered points to revenue generated on what it calls the “Robinhood Chain,” using it as evidence of growing usage.
At the same time, the reporting highlights a potential mismatch between value capture and token holder returns. CoinDesk notes that, even if fees and revenue grow on the network, current ARB holders do not have a direct claim on those fees, which suggests the forecast relies on broader market dynamics rather than a straightforward distribution of protocol income.
