#USGDPDataOnChain
US GDP DATA
What’s Happening
The U.S. Department of Commerce has begun publishing official GDP data on public blockchains, marking a historic first for a U.S. federal agency. This effort serves as an additional layer—beyond traditional channels—for sharing economic data that’s immutable, timestamped, and globally accessible.
Specifically, the second quarter 2025 GDP growth (annualized at 3.3%) was hashed and, in some cases, the topline number itself was embedded across nine different blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, TRON, Stellar, Avalanche, Arbitrum One, Polygon PoS, and Optimism.

Who’s Powering It
The initiative leverages oracle providers such as Chainlink and Pyth to securely deliver GDP—and potentially other economic indicators—onchain.
This is officially part of a broader push under the Deploying American Blockchains Act of 2025, aimed at expanding blockchain adoption across federal operations.

What’s Included On-Chain
Chainlink Data Feeds now carry several U.S. government macroeconomic indicators on-chain, including:
Real GDP (levels and quarterly % change, annualized)
PCE Price Index (levels and quarterly % change)
Real Final Sales to Private Domestic Purchasers
This data is being distributed across multiple blockchains, with more networks expected based on demand.
