Standard Chartered’s head of digital asset research, Geoff Kendrick, said ARB could reach $10 by the end of 2030, laying out a multiyear price path that includes targets of $0.5 in 2026, $1.5 in 2027, $3.5 in 2028 and $6.5 in 2029. The forecast uses $0.14 as a reference price and compares that outlook with ARB’s current price of about $0.21, which the report says implies roughly 48x upside.
The bank also said Arbitrum’s monthly revenue could reach $5 million in September, 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, targeting tokenized assets and decentralized finance applications. Under the Expansion Program, 10% of protocol net revenue is returned to the Arbitrum ecosystem, with 8% going to the ArbitrumDAO treasury and 2% allocated to the Arbitrum Developer Guild.
Standard Chartered noted that ARB is an ERC-20 governance token used for voting on ArbitrumDAO proposals. It does not represent ownership of onchain assets and does not currently provide a direct mechanism to capture Arbitrum revenue. The bank said slower tokenization, rival blockchains and the lack of direct value capture for ARB are the main risks to its forecast.

Arbitrum monthly revenue could reach $5 million in September
Standard Chartered said Arbitrum’s monthly revenue is projected to hit $5 million in September, up more than fivefold from the period before Robinhood Chain went live.
Robinhood Chain launched its public mainnet on July 1 on the Arbitrum platform, aimed at tokenized assets and decentralized finance applications.
Revenue-sharing terms in the Expansion Program
Under the Expansion Program, 10% of protocol net revenue is returned to the Arbitrum ecosystem. Of that amount, 8% goes to the ArbitrumDAO treasury and 2% supports the Arbitrum Developer Guild.
ARB is an ERC-20 governance token used to vote on ArbitrumDAO proposals. It does not represent ownership of onchain assets, and it does not currently include a direct mechanism for capturing Arbitrum revenue.
Risks cited by the bank
Standard Chartered said the main risks to the forecast are a slower tokenization process, competition from other blockchains and ARB’s lack of a direct value-capture mechanism.
