The U.S. Department of Commerce announced that it will publish the second quarter GDP data on the blockchain

The U.S. Department of Commerce announced today that it will begin publishing real gross domestic product (GDP) data on a blockchain, starting with data from July 2025. Based on revised estimates released by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, GDP grew at an annualized rate of 3.3% in July 2025. This marks the first time a federal agency has published economic statistics on a blockchain in this manner and the latest initiative by the Department of Commerce to leverage innovative technologies to protect federal data and promote public access. The Department has published official hashes of its 2025 quarterly GDP data releases (and, in some cases, total GDP data) on nine blockchains: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, TRON, Stellar, Avalanche, ArbitrumOne, PolygonPoS, and Optimism. This data is further disseminated through coordination with Python and Chainlink oracles.
