coingape.com reported that Standard Chartered has initiated coverage of Arbitrum, projecting the token could reach $10 by 2030. The bank views Arbitrum as the primary blockchain for traditional finance to move assets on-chain. Geoff Kendrick, global head of digital assets research, described the project as “the blockchain for TradFi.” He expects the tokenized assets market to grow to $4 trillion by the end of 2028.
Standard Chartered forecasts ARB will hit $0.50 by the end of 2026 and $1.50 by 2027. The bank also predicts a $6.50 price for 2029, outperforming Bitcoin and Ethereum. Brendan Ma of the Arbitrum Foundation noted the token has a unique advantage in this shift. The report highlighted Robinhood Chain adopting the Arbitrum technology stack to drive revenue growth.
