Standard Chartered’s head of digital asset research, Geoff Kendrick, said ARB could reach $10 by the end of 2030, laying out a multi-year price path that starts at $0.5 in 2026 and rises to $6.5 in 2029 before hitting the final target. The forecast uses $0.14 as a reference price and compares the 2030 target with ARB’s current price of about $0.21, implying a 48x move.
Kendrick tied that view to expected growth in Arbitrum’s revenue. Monthly revenue is projected to reach $5 million, more than five times the level seen before the launch of Robinhood Chain. Robinhood Chain went live on July 1 as a public mainnet built on Arbitrum and aimed at tokenized assets and decentralized finance applications.
Under the Expansion Program, 10% of protocol net revenue is set to flow back to the Arbitrum ecosystem, with 8% allocated to the ArbitrumDAO treasury and 2% directed to the Arbitrum Developer Guild. Standard Chartered also flagged key risks to the forecast, including slower tokenization adoption, competition from other blockchains, and the fact that ARB currently has no direct mechanism to capture Arbitrum revenue.
According to ChainCatcher, Standard Chartered head of digital asset research Geoff Kendrick said ARB could reach $10 by the end of 2030.
The forecast uses $0.14 as a reference price, and the 2030 target is about 48 times ARB’s current price of $0.21. Kendrick’s annual targets also include $0.5 for 2026, $1.5 for 2027, $3.5 for 2028, and $6.5 for 2029.
Revenue outlook tied to Robinhood Chain
Arbitrum’s monthly revenue is expected to reach $5 million, more than five times the level before Robinhood Chain went live.
Robinhood Chain launched its public mainnet on July 1 on the Arbitrum platform, targeting tokenized assets and decentralized finance applications. Under the Expansion Program, 10% of protocol net revenue will be returned to the Arbitrum ecosystem, with 8% going to the ArbitrumDAO treasury and 2% supporting the Arbitrum Developer Guild.
Governance role and risks for ARB
ARB is an ERC-20 governance token used to vote on ArbitrumDAO proposals. It does not currently represent ownership of on-chain assets and has no direct mechanism to receive Arbitrum revenue.
Standard Chartered said the main risks to the forecast include slower progress in tokenization, competition from rival blockchains, and ARB’s lack of a direct value-capture mechanism.
