Standard Chartered Sees Arbitrum’s ARB Reaching $10 by 2030
Arbitrum is one of Ethereum’s leading Layer 2 networks, processing transactions more cheaply while allowing companies to launch dedicated chains using its technology. Standard Chartered argues the network is positioned to benefit as traditional financial institutions move assets and activity on-chain. The bank expects the tokenized-asset market to expand to $4 trillion by the end of 2028 from about $340 billion, potentially increasing demand for Arbitrum’s infrastructure and revenue-sharing model.
Standard Chartered’s Geoff Kendrick initiated coverage of ARB on Sept. 14, 2026, forecasting the token would rise from about $0.14 to $0.50 by year-end and reach $10 by the end of 2030, implying roughly 70-fold upside. The bank cited Robinhood Chain, which launched on Arbitrum technology on July 1, as an early proof point. It estimates Arbitrum’s September revenue could reach about $5 million at the current run rate, more than five times the level before Robinhood Chain went live.

The history behind this eventStandard Chartered Sees Tokenization Boom Lifting LINK to $200 by 2030
The tokenization of real-world assets is moving bonds, funds and other traditional instruments onto blockchains, increasing demand for trusted market data and interoperability across networks. Chainlink, a leading provider of decentralized oracle infrastructure, sits at a critical junction in that shift. Broader institutional adoption could generate more fees from data delivery and cross-chain services as decentralized finance and regulated on-chain markets expand.
Standard Chartered initiated coverage of Chainlink with a forecast that LINK could reach $200 by the end of 2030, implying potential upside of about 25 times. The bank expects tokenized assets to grow to $4 trillion by 2028, creating a sharp increase in demand for oracle services. It argues that Chainlink’s position as infrastructure connecting blockchains with external data and one another makes it a major beneficiary of the tokenization boom.
