Standard Chartered Sees Arbitrum Reaching $10 by 2030

Standard Chartered has opened coverage of Arbitrum’s ARB token with one of the boldest long-range forecasts currently attached to a major crypto network: $10 by the end of 2030.

ARB was trading around $0.13 to $0.15 when the research circulated Tuesday, meaning the bank’s target implies roughly 70-fold upside from the lower end of that range. The forecast is eye-catching, but the reasoning behind it is more important than the number.

The Block reports that Standard Chartered digital-assets research chief Geoff Kendrick sees Arbitrum becoming a core infrastructure provider for traditional financial firms moving assets onchain. The bank expects ARB to outperform both Bitcoin and Ether through the end of the decade if that transition accelerates.
