Standard Chartered Sees Arbitrum (ARB) at $0.50 This Year, $10 by 2030. Here's the Path
Standard Chartered initiated coverage of Arbitrum (ARB) with a $10 price target by 2030, predicting a 66x gain from current levels. ARB rose 12.39% to $0.1513 despite a broader crypto market decline. The bank's analyst expects ARB to reach $0.50 this year and $3.50 by 2028, driven by revenue growth from chains like Robinhood Chain.
