Arbitrum Price Prediction 2026 to 2040: Can ARB Reach $1?

Last Updated: November 8, 2026

Arbitrum (ARB) traded near $0.167 on November 8, 2026, according to CoinMarketCap, more than double its record low of about $0.071 in late June but about 93% below its all-time high of $2.40, set on January 12, 2024. ARB has held up better than most large tokens this week, rising about 2% over seven days as Bitcoin lost about 4%.

The forecasts we track put ARB between about $0.094 and $0.57 at the end of 2026, with a median central forecast of about $0.15, slightly below today’s price. Longer term, the forecasts split sharply: algorithmic models put ARB at about $0.25 to $0.30 in 2030, while Standard Chartered, which began covering the token in September, expects $10 by the end of 2030.

The gap comes down to one question: whether the revenue the Arbitrum network earns from other chains, led by Robinhood Chain, will ever reach ARB holders. Until it does, the token has to absorb about 92.65 million new ARB every month until March 2027, when the team and investor unlocks end. ARB has lost about 8% over the past 30 days, and the next unlock is due on November 16.

What Is Arbitrum?

Arbitrum is a family of Ethereum layer-2 networks built by Offchain Labs, and its main chain is the second-largest rollup by value secured. Its main chain, Arbitrum One, is an optimistic rollup: it processes transactions off Ethereum and posts the data back to Ethereum, which cuts fees while relying on Ethereum for security. Other projects can launch their own chains with Arbitrum’s technology, and chains that settle outside Arbitrum One and Nova, including Robinhood’s own blockchain, return 10% of their net protocol revenue under the Arbitrum Expansion Program.

ARB is the governance token of the Arbitrum DAO, which controls a large treasury and votes on upgrades and spending. It was airdropped to users in March 2023 and has a maximum supply of 10 billion tokens; the DAO can vote to mint up to 2% more a year but has not done so. ARB is not used to pay gas fees on Arbitrum, which are paid in ETH, and holders do not receive a share of network revenue, which is the main reason its price has lagged the network’s growth.

Arbitrum Price History: From $2.40 to $0.07

ARB began trading on March 23, 2023, after the Arbitrum Foundation airdropped about 1.16 billion tokens to early users, plus about 113 million to DAOs building on the network. It ended 2023 near $1.56 and reached its all-time high of $2.40 on January 12, 2024, two months before the first team and investor tokens were released.

From then on, unlocks and a weak altcoin market pulled it lower. ARB closed 2024 near $0.72 and 2025 near $0.187, a loss of about 74% in 2025, after touching about $0.105 in the October 2025 market crash. In 2026 it fell to a record low of about $0.071 on June 26, then broke out at the end of August as fees from Robinhood Chain surged. Standard Chartered’s coverage in mid-September added to the rally, which peaked at about $0.256 on September 23. ARB has since fallen about 35% from that high, including about 19% in October, to about $0.167.

How Did Earlier Arbitrum Predictions Hold Up?

Forecasts made in 2024 and early 2025 were far too high. In April 2024, with ARB near $1.45, Mudrex projected an average price of about $2.01 for 2025 and $2.07 to $3.19 for 2026. In October 2024, DroomDroom expected $3 by mid-2026. Even Coinpedia’s more cautious 2025 forecast, made with ARB near $0.33, put the 2025 low at about $0.245. ARB ended 2025 at about $0.187, below every one of those figures, and traded near $0.08 to $0.10 for much of mid-2026.

Three things went wrong for the bulls. Around 92.65 million ARB a month reached the market from team and investor wallets, Arbitrum’s total value locked fell from about $2.9 billion at the start of 2026 to about $1.4 billion to $1.5 billion, and the token gained no direct claim on network revenue. The lesson for current forecasts is that network growth alone has not been enough to lift ARB.

What Is Driving ARB in 2026?

Robinhood Chain and Arbitrum’s revenue share. Robinhood launched its own Arbitrum-based blockchain on July 1, 2026, and pays 10% of its net revenue to Arbitrum: 8% to the DAO and 2% to a developer guild. Its fees surged around the start of September, peaking at about $6 million on September 4 and staying above $2 million a day for about a week, but averaged about $56,000 a day in the 30 days to October 28, according to DefiLlama. The Arbitrum DAO earned about $6.2 million in the first half of 2026 and held about $125 million in assets other than ARB at the end of June, according to an unaudited Arbitrum Foundation report.

Standard Chartered’s call. On September 15, 2026, Standard Chartered’s Geoff Kendrick set targets of $0.50 for the end of 2026, $1.50 for 2027, $3.50 for 2028, $6.50 for 2029 and $10 for the end of 2030, based on Arbitrum’s revenue from tokenized stocks and chains such as Robinhood’s. He also listed ARB’s lack of direct value accrual as a risk to the forecast.

Unlocks ending in 2027. The Arbitrum Foundation’s documentation says all team and investor tokens are subject to four-year lockups, with the first unlock one year after the token launch and monthly unlocks for the remaining three years. That works out to about 92.65 million ARB a month, worth about $15.5 million at today’s price, released on the 16th of each month. The next release is on November 16, 2026, according to Tokenomist, and five releases remain, the last in March 2027, after which the supply overhang from early backers disappears.

Network activity. Arbitrum One is the second-largest rollup by value secured, at about $9.65 billion according to L2BEAT on October 29, behind Base at about $15.0 billion. DefiLlama puts its total value locked at about $1.44 billion. Its own fee revenue is small, about $8 million over the past year according to DefiLlama, because transaction fees on Arbitrum are now a fraction of a cent.

Recent setbacks. On October 2, 2026, Arbitrum’s Security Council paused new Stylus program activations over the risk of AI-assisted attacks; already-active Stylus contracts keep running. See our report on why Arbitrum paused new Stylus activations.

Arbitrum Price Predictions Compared: Analysts and Models

The forecasts fall into two groups. The algorithmic models, which update daily and lean heavily on recent prices, keep their central forecasts for ARB below $0.50 until the 2030s, and CoinCodex and Changelly now expect ARB to end 2026 below today’s price. Standard Chartered expects ARB to recover most of its losses by 2030. There is no active Polymarket or Kalshi market on ARB’s price.

Arbitrum Price Prediction by Year

How Blockchainreporter builds this table: every row summarizes the published forecasts in the table above, not targets of our own. The bear case is the lowest published minimum or bear case, the base case is the median of each source’s central forecast and the bull case is the highest published figure. Bull figures come from CoinLore (2026, 2035 and 2040) and Standard Chartered (2027 to 2030). Speculative, not financial advice.

Central figures are CoinCodex’s end-of-year estimates (its December averages from October 29 for 2027, 2028 and 2035, years its free page no longer shows), Changelly’s December 2026 and yearly averages, CoinLore’s base case, PricePredictions.com’s mid case and Standard Chartered’s target. Standard Chartered and PricePredictions.com do not publish 2035 and 2040 figures. At a supply of 10 billion ARB, $10 would mean a market value of $100 billion.

Blockchainreporter’s Crypto Price Prediction Tracker checks how forecasts published on our coin pages turn out against CoinMarketCap prices, misses included, with the first full scores due in January 2027.

Arbitrum Price Prediction 2026

ARB enters the last eight weeks of 2026 near $0.167, close to its 20-day moving average of about $0.169 and below its 50-day average of about $0.189, based on CoinMarketCap daily closes. Its 14-day RSI is near 49, according to CoinCodex. The 200-day average, near $0.124, still sits below the price. Support sits near the October 30 low of about $0.150, and resistance near November’s high of about $0.172 and the 50-day average.

Arbitrum Price Prediction for the End of 2026

Lowest forecast ($0.094): CoinLore’s bear case, about 44% below today’s price and back in the range ARB traded in before September.

Median forecast ($0.15): between Changelly’s December average of about $0.135 and CoinLore’s base case of about $0.156, below today’s price. CoinCodex is lower, at about $0.132. Two more unlocks, on November 16 and December 16, add about 185 million tokens.

Highest forecast ($0.57): CoinLore’s bull case, about 3.4 times today’s price and above Standard Chartered’s year-end target of $0.50.

Blockchainreporter Scenario Range for the End of 2026

Unlike the model forecasts above, this range is Blockchainreporter’s own. It shows where ARB could close on December 31, 2026 if it keeps the volatility of the past 90 days, without assuming a trend in either direction. It is a scenario range, not a price target or investment advice.

How we calculated it: ARB traded at about $0.162 on CoinGecko on November 5, 2026, and its daily moves over the previous 90 days imply annualized volatility of about 139%. Projecting that volatility over the 56 days to the December 31 close, with no trend, half of the modeled outcomes fall inside the base range, one in ten ends above the bull figure and one in ten ends below the bear figure. Crypto prices have fatter tails than this model assumes, so moves beyond the bear and bull figures are more likely than it suggests. Blockchainreporter’s Crypto Price Prediction Tracker records this range and will score it against CoinMarketCap’s December 31 close in January 2027.

Arbitrum Price Prediction 2027

2027 is the year the monthly unlocks end, in March. The median central forecast is about $0.15: Changelly’s 2027 average is about $0.136, CoinLore’s base case about $0.154 and PricePredictions.com about $0.145, while CoinCodex’s December 2027 average, as of October 29, was about $0.29. Standard Chartered’s $1.50 target, the highest published figure, would require ARB to rise about ninefold. The lowest published figure, Changelly’s minimum, is about $0.082.

Arbitrum Price Prediction 2028

For 2028, the median central forecast is about $0.19. Changelly’s 2028 average is about $0.25, CoinCodex’s December average (October 29) about $0.19, CoinLore’s base case about $0.186 and PricePredictions.com’s about $0.177, while Standard Chartered expects $3.50. The lowest published figure is PricePredictions.com’s low case of about $0.10, and CoinLore’s bull case is about $1.38. By then all team and investor tokens will be unlocked.

Arbitrum Price Prediction 2030

For 2030, the median central forecast is about $0.27, with CoinCodex at about $0.30, CoinLore at about $0.27, PricePredictions.com at about $0.27 and Changelly at about $0.25. Standard Chartered’s $10 target would value ARB at about $100 billion at full supply, roughly 87 times its market value today.

Arbitrum Price Prediction 2035 and 2040

Long-range forecasts are speculative. For 2035, the median central forecast is about $0.67, CoinCodex’s December 2035 average as of October 29, with Changelly’s average at about $0.56 and CoinLore’s base case at about $0.99; the highest figure is CoinLore’s bull case of about $3.09.

For 2040, the median is about $0.81, Changelly’s average, with CoinCodex at about $0.64 and CoinLore’s base case of about $2.34 the highest central figure; CoinLore’s bull case reaches about $7.16.

Can Arbitrum Reach $1?

Not in 2026, and only with a major change in how the token captures value. From about $0.167, ARB needs a gain of about 500% to reach $1. With roughly 7.4 billion ARB in circulation after the unlocks end in 2027, $1 would mean a market value of about $7.4 billion, about 2.4 times its market value at its January 2024 peak. Among the forecasts we reviewed, CoinLore’s bull case passes $1 as early as 2028, CoinLore’s base case approaches $1 in 2035, and Standard Chartered expects $1.50 as early as 2027. For a shorter-term view of the token’s slide, see our analysis of ARB at $0.0899.

Key Factors Driving Arbitrum Price in 2026 to 2030

Value accrual to ARB. The single biggest factor. ARB holders do not receive fees, and the DAO has not approved a buyback or staking yield. A vote that links network revenue to the token would change the investment case; without one, ARB remains a governance token.

Revenue from Arbitrum chains. Robinhood Chain and other chains in the Arbitrum Expansion Program pay 10% of their net protocol revenue to the Arbitrum ecosystem. If tokenized stock trading grows as Standard Chartered expects, this could become a meaningful income stream.

The end of unlocks. The last team and investor release is due in March 2027. Removing about 1.1 billion ARB a year of new supply would ease one of the main pressures on the price.

Competition from Base. Coinbase’s Base leads Arbitrum in total value locked, at about $5.9 billion against $1.4 billion on DefiLlama, and in value secured on L2BEAT. Base has no token, so a Base token launch would compete directly for layer-2 investors.

Ethereum and the wider market. ARB tends to follow Ether and the altcoin market with higher volatility. See our Ethereum price prediction and Bitcoin price prediction for the wider outlook.

DAO decisions. Proposals such as Entropy Advisors’ October 2026 plan to spend 100 million ARB on incentives for the USDG stablecoin, which passed an off-chain Snapshot vote according to TokenPost, show how treasury spending can add to circulating supply as well as to activity on the network. See our report on Arbitrum joining the Global Dollar Network.

Bull Case vs. Bear Case

How Can I Check the Current Price and Price Prediction of Arbitrum (ARB)?

Check the live ARB price on CoinMarketCap or CoinGecko, which show the price, market value, trading volume and circulating supply, updated every few minutes. For price predictions, use a page that compares several sources and shows their dates, like this Blockchainreporter page or our price predictions hub, and treat model sites such as CoinCodex, CoinLore and Changelly as automated estimates that change with the price every day rather than as analysis. For governance and unlock news, go to the official Arbitrum DAO governance forum and the Arbitrum Foundation’s token distribution page.

In practice, three sources answer most questions. For the price, CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko are enough, and the exchange where you trade shows the price you will actually pay. For network health, DefiLlama shows Arbitrum’s total value locked and fees, and L2BEAT shows the value it secures and its security stage. For news that can move ARB, the governance forum is where proposals such as treasury spending or a possible buyback are posted and debated before they reach a vote, with links to the off-chain Snapshot vote and the on-chain governance portal; unlock trackers such as Tokenomist list the dates and sizes of upcoming releases.

When comparing price predictions, check three things: the date each one was last updated, since some sites still show figures from earlier in the year; whether it is a model output or an analyst’s view, because algorithmic models and analyst targets for ARB differ by more than 30 times for 2030; and whether the forecast accounts for the monthly unlocks that run until March 2027. Our daily crypto market today page covers the moves behind the price.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Arbitrum price prediction for 2026?
The forecasts we track put Arbitrum between about $0.094 and $0.57 at the end of 2026, with a median central forecast of about $0.15. CoinCodex, Changelly and CoinLore expect about $0.13 to $0.16, and Standard Chartered’s year-end target is $0.50. ARB traded near $0.167 on November 8. Two more monthly unlocks, in November and December, will add about 185 million ARB.

What will Arbitrum be worth in 2030?
Forecasts for 2030 range from about $0.16 to $10. The median central forecast of the five sources we track is about $0.27, with algorithmic models such as CoinCodex, CoinLore, Changelly and PricePredictions.com at about $0.25 to $0.30. Standard Chartered expects $10 by the end of 2030, which would value ARB at about $100 billion at its full supply of 10 billion tokens.

Can Arbitrum reach $1?
It is possible but would need a gain of about 500% from today’s price near $0.167, and a market value of about $7.4 billion once unlocks end in 2027, about 2.4 times its value at its 2024 peak. Standard Chartered expects $1.50 in 2027, and CoinLore’s bull case passes $1 in 2028, while CoinCodex and Changelly stay below $1 through 2040. A buyback or revenue share would change the picture.

Can Arbitrum reach $10 or $100?
Standard Chartered expects $10 by the end of 2030, about 60 times today’s price and a $100 billion market value. $100 would require a $1 trillion valuation, more than three times Ether’s entire market value today, and none of the forecasts in our table gets there; the highest, CoinLore’s 2040 bull case, is about $7.16. Algorithmic models’ base cases put ARB well under $1 in 2030.

Why is Arbitrum so low?
ARB is about 93% below its January 2024 high of $2.40 for three main reasons. About 92.65 million new tokens have reached the market every month since April 2024, after a larger first release in March 2024, Arbitrum’s total value locked has fallen sharply in 2026, and the token gives holders no share of network fees. Competition from Base and a weak altcoin market have added to the pressure.

When is the next Arbitrum token unlock?
The next unlock is on November 16, 2026, when about 92.65 million ARB will be released under the vesting schedule for team members, advisors and investors, worth about $15.5 million at current prices and about 1.3% of circulating supply. Unlocks of the same size take place on the 16th of each month until March 2027, when the vesting schedule for early backers ends.

What did Standard Chartered predict for Arbitrum?
In September 2026, Standard Chartered’s Geoff Kendrick set ARB targets of $0.50 for the end of 2026, $1.50 for 2027, $3.50 for 2028, $6.50 for 2029 and $10 for the end of 2030. The bank based its view on Arbitrum’s revenue from Robinhood Chain and other chains and on growth in tokenized assets, and listed ARB’s lack of direct value accrual as a risk.

How can I check the current price and price prediction of Arbitrum (ARB)?
CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko show the live ARB price, market value and supply. For predictions, compare several sources and check when each was last updated, since model sites change daily and analyst targets differ widely. Blockchainreporter’s Arbitrum forecast page compares five sources side by side and dates every figure. The Arbitrum DAO forum and the Arbitrum Foundation’s documentation are the official sources for proposals and the unlock schedule.

What is Arbitrum used for?
Arbitrum is an Ethereum layer-2 network that makes transactions cheaper and faster while relying on Ethereum for security. It hosts DeFi apps, stablecoins and tokenized assets, and its technology powers other chains, including Robinhood Chain. The ARB token is used to vote on how the Arbitrum DAO runs the network and spends its treasury; gas fees on Arbitrum are paid in ETH.

Is Arbitrum a good investment?
That depends on your view of value accrual. Arbitrum One is the second-largest Ethereum rollup and earns revenue from Robinhood Chain and other Arbitrum chains, but ARB holders do not receive fees, monthly unlocks continue until March 2027 and the token is about 93% below its peak. A buyback or revenue share would strengthen the case. This is not financial advice.
