🌐 Ethereum’s Scaling Champions: $ARB or $POL — Who Wins the 2030 Game?
Let’s compare a hypothetical investment in 1,000 ARB and 1,000 MATIC as of June 1, 2025, based on updated prices and future projections.
Arbitrum (ARB)
Current Price: $0.3368
Tokens Held: 1,000 ARB
Total Investment: 1,000 × $0.3368 = $336.80
2030 Price Predictions:
CoinCodex: $1.10 to $2.80
Bitnation: $3.50 to $5.90
Changelly (Bullish Case): Up to $7.20
Potential Value in 2030:
At $1.10: 1,000 × $1.10 = $1,100.00 (Profit: $763.20)
At $2.80: 1,000 × $2.80 = $2,800.00 (Profit: $2,463.20)
At $5.90: 1,000 × $5.90 = $5,900.00 (Profit: $5,563.20)
At $7.20: 1,000 × $7.20 = $7,200.00 (Profit: $6,863.20)
Polygon (MATIC)
Current Price: $0.2138
Tokens Held: 1,000 MATIC
Total Investment: 1,000 × $0.2138 = $213.80
2030 Price Predictions:
CoinCodex: $2.10 to $4.00
CryptoNewsZ: $5.00 to $7.80
Bitnation (Bullish Case): Up to $12.00
Potential Value in 2030:
At $2.10: 1,000 × $2.10 = $2,100.00 (Profit: $1,886.20)
At $4.00: 1,000 × $4.00 = $4,000.00 (Profit: $3,786.20)
At $7.80: 1,000 × $7.80 = $7,800.00 (Profit: $7,586.20)
At $12.00: 1,000 × $12.00 = $12,000.00 (Profit: $11,786.20)
Summary
At these entry points, both ARB and MATIC provide attractive upside potential, but MATIC shows higher absolute profits due to its deeper price dip. If MATIC recovers to even a fraction of its previous highs, it could outperform many L2s.
Meanwhile, ARB remains a top contender with major DeFi integrations and consistent developer adoption—making it a compelling choice for Ethereum scaling believers.
