Standard Chartered says Arbitrum's ARB could climb 70-fold to $10 by end-2030 and beat Bitcoin and Ether along the way. That's a huge call. It would make a small Layer 2 token one of the best performers of the next four years, if the bank is right.
A $10 price means a 70-fold climb
Coinpedia reports the target as a 70-times surge to $10. The Block pins the same $10 level to end-2030, per Standard Chartered. So the math is simple.
The bank is not calling for a double or a triple. It's calling for ARB to multiply many times over and keep rising into 2030. But that kind of move needs real cash flow.
And that's where Robinhood comes in.
Robinhood's chain feeds Arbitrum revenue
CoinDesk reports the forecast cites Robinhood Chain revenue as the driver. The Defiant describes it in similar terms, as growth tied to Robinhood and tokenization. Here's how that works in plain terms.
Arbitrum bundles lots of transactions together and settles them on Ethereum. Users pay small fees for that service, and those fees are revenue. Robinhood built its own chain with Arbitrum's software kit.
So when people trade on Robinhood's chain, some of that activity flows back to Arbitrum as fees and shared income. More trading means more revenue.
Tokenized stocks give that chain something to trade
Tokenization just means a real stock gets a crypto copy that can trade around the clock. You hold the token, and a firm holds the real share for you. That trend is already spreading.
The Defiant reports Bitget Wallet added Reality's tokenized U.S. Stocks alongside Ondo and xStocks. It's one wallet.
But it shows the direction. If stocks, funds, and dollars move on-chain, chains that host them collect the tolls. Standard Chartered is betting Arbitrum gets a big share of those tolls through Robinhood.
Watch whether Robinhood Chain activity and Arbitrum fee revenue actually grow from here into 2027. If they don't, the bank's $10 target for end-2030 will be hard to defend.
