The U.S. government has begun releasing GDP data on the blockchain, initially covering nine blockchains.
According to Bloomberg, the U.S. government began releasing GDP data on public blockchains on Thursday, marking the latest support from the Trump administration for the cryptocurrency industry.

Initially, the U.S. government's initiative will cover nine blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.

Officials said that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is the driving force behind the initiative to publish data on the blockchain. Earlier this year, Lutnick also indicated plans to change the reporting of GDP to eliminate the impact of government spending. The GDP data is released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, which is under the Department of Commerce.
