Standard Chartered’s $0.50 target now needs a ~3x rebound
ARB’s slide wipes out much of a September rally. According to Cryptopolitan, by September 18 the token had surged more than 167% in a month to trade above $0.20 for the first time since January.
By that time, ARB had gained over 147% in 90 days and landed among the top 10 tokens outperforming Bitcoin.
Tokenized assets on Arbitrum reached a record high of over $800 million in assets under management at the time. On-chain assets increased from $9.38 billion to $11.18 billion in a month.
Standard Chartered has a $0.50 target for ARB by the end of 2026 and $10 by 2030, set in mid-September. At ~$0.167, ARB would need to triple to hit the closer mark.
“We see digital assets transitioning from a state where revenue is not yet relevant to one where revenue is critical,” wrote Geoff Kendrick, head of digital assets research at the bank.
The bank’s own note said that holders of ARB receive little of the network revenue behind the call. Chains using Arbitrum tech in the Arbitrum Expansion Program pay 10% of net protocol revenue, with 8% going to the DAO treasury and 2% to a developer guild.
The headline customer for the program is Robinhood Chain. Its daily fees attained a high of $6.04 million on Sept. 4 and fell to $448,616 by Sept. 14.
