Standard Chartered Sets $10 Price Target for Arbitrum’s ARB Token Amid Price Decline

Standard Chartered has initiated coverage of Arbitrum’s ARB token with a price target of $10, projecting a potential increase of approximately 70 times from its current price of around $0.14 by the end of 2030. This announcement, made on September 15, was met with a temporary price surge of 12% to 17% for ARB. However, the token has experienced a significant decline of 29% from its peak earlier in September, according to on-chain data from Santiment.

The bank's forecast includes a staged roadmap, predicting ARB will reach $0.50 by the end of 2026, $1.50 by the end of 2027, $3.50 by 2028, and $6.50 by 2029. This optimistic outlook is largely based on the Arbitrum Expansion Program, which charges a 10% fee on net protocol revenue from external chains utilizing Arbitrum’s technology. The launch of the Robinhood Chain in July 2026 has notably boosted Arbitrum's revenue, which is estimated to be around $5 million for September, significantly higher than previous earnings.

Despite the bullish projections, on-chain signals present a mixed picture. While large transactions for ARB have increased during the recent price decline, the number of active addresses has been decreasing since September 6. Additionally, on September 16, 92.6 million ARB tokens were unlocked, accounting for about 1.4% of the circulating supply. Arbitrum has also maintained a strong position in the blockchain sector, processing 478 million transactions in the first half of 2026 and leading in the deployment of tokenized real-world assets.
