Banking giant Standard Chartered has unexpectedly shifted its attention away from the market’s traditional heavyweights — Bitcoin and Ethereum — toward Arbitrum’s native utility token, ARB, issuing a report with a long-term forecast for the asset.

The bank’s analysts built a detailed mathematical model for the asset and forecast a 7,000% rise by the end of 2030 — from the current $0.14 to $10.

Arbitrum fell for two years due to inflation, but a contract with Robinhood changed everything

The main driver of the blockchain’s new economy has been its integration with Robinhood Chain. In September 2026, Arbitrum’s monthly revenue soared to $5 million, a fivefold increase, while daily transaction fees on the subchain exceeded $8 million at peak times. The bank expects the global volume of tokenized assets to reach $4 trillion by 2028, providing Arbitrum with a steady inflow of capital.

Standard Chartered emphasizes that the token’s potential far exceeds the market’s projected performance: “This would far outperform our projected price growth for ETH and BTC over our forecast horizon.”

The market reacted to the bank’s prediction immediately. Today, ARB prices posted an 8.5% impulse move on lower time frames, setting a local high at $0.14350. Despite profit-taking by speculators, the price is holding above the key support level of $0.13800, forming a bullish engulfing reversal pattern on higher time frames.
