Here’s Why Arbitrum Price Could Rally 70x to $10

Arbitrum price has rebounded to around $0.1459, gaining about 3.49% over the past 24 hours after an extended decline. The recovery comes as Standard Chartered starts coverage of ARB with a long-term price target of $10 by 2030.

The bank’s forecast represents an increase of roughly 70 times from the $0.14 level used in its September 15 report. However, the projection depends heavily on Arbitrum gaining more business from traditional finance and tokenized assets.

Standard Chartered Sees Arbitrum Price Reaching $10

Standard Chartered expects ARB to rise gradually rather than reach $10 in a single move. Its forecast places Arbitrum price at $0.50 in 2026, $1.50 in 2027, and $3.50 in 2028.

The bank then expects ARB to reach $6.50 in 2029 before climbing to $10 by the end of 2030. Geoff Kendrick, Standard Chartered’s Global Head of Digital Assets Research, linked that outlook to Arbitrum’s growing role in financial infrastructure.

Arbitrum is one of the largest Ethereum layer-2 networks and competes closely with Base. Unlike Base, Arbitrum has its own governance token, ARB, which gives investors direct exposure to the network.

Standard Chartered also expects Arbitrum to outperform its own Bitcoin and Ethereum price forecasts over the same period. However, the bank noted that ARB currently has no direct mechanism for capturing network value.

TradFi Growth Forms the Core of the ARB Forecast

A major part of the bullish Arbitrum price forecast comes from the network’s work with traditional financial firms. Arbitrum helps companies create their own layer-2 networks and receives 10% of net protocol revenue from supported projects.

Robinhood Chain is one recent example of this model. Standard Chartered estimates Arbitrum could receive around $5 million in September revenue at the current run rate.

That figure would be more than five times the level recorded before Robinhood Chain launched in early July. The bank expects similar demand to grow as more financial assets move onto blockchain networks.

Standard Chartered forecasts tokenized assets could reach $4 trillion by the end of 2028. In that scenario, demand for blockchain infrastructure from traditional financial firms could create additional revenue opportunities for Arbitrum.

The network also remains one of the leading Ethereum layer-2 platforms by total value locked and total value secured. Meanwhile, 92.3% of ARB’s maximum 10 billion token supply has already vested, with the remaining tokens scheduled through March 2027.

Arbitrum Technical Analysis Points to $0.185 Resistance

ARB is currently defending support near $0.129 after pulling back from its earlier September rally. Buyers have so far prevented a deeper breakdown, while short-term momentum has started to improve.

The MACD has begun turning higher, although ARB still needs to clear nearby resistance before confirming a stronger recovery. According to the analysis, the first major test for ARB price lies between $0.15 and $0.16.

Consequently, a breakout above that range could bring $0.185 into focus, which marks a previous consolidation area. However, if the ARB price falls below $0.129, attention could shift toward the larger demand zone between $0.11 and $0.115, weakening the short-term recovery setup.
