The U.S. Commerce Department has started releasing GDP data on public blockchains. The move marks the first time a federal agency is distributing economic data in this format. It reflects the Trump administration’s plan to make the U.S. a global crypto hub.

Commerce Department Pushes GDP Data On-Chain

The Commerce Department announced that real GDP data will now be published directly on blockchain networks. The first release began with the July 2025 GDP data. According to the agency, this approach will improve security, transparency, and public access.

The data is available on leading networks, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, TRON, Stellar, Avalanche, Arbitrum One, Polygon PoS, and Optimism. To support this release, exchanges like Coinbase, Gemini, and Kraken worked with the government. Officials said this effort represents a larger plan to expand blockchain-based data distribution.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick emphasized that this move aligns with President Trump’s vision. He called Trump the “crypto president” and highlighted the administration’s intent to make America the blockchain capital. Lutnick also pointed out that making GDP data immutable and globally accessible strengthens trust in U.S. economic statistics. He added that 3.3% GDP growth shows the country’s strong economic position.

Chainlink and Pyth Power the Data Distribution

The Commerce Department worked with Chainlink and Pyth to deliver the GDP data on-chain. Both Oracle networks confirmed their roles in separate blog posts. Pyth announced it will verify and distribute quarterly GDP releases dating back five years. The team said this step improves confidence in public information systems.

Chainlink will provide official oracle services for the initiative. Its Data Feeds will deliver Real GDP data, the PCE Price Index, and Real Final Sales to Private Domestic Purchasers. The updates will come monthly or quarterly, depending on the dataset. Chainlink noted that these feeds will be available across networks such as Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Ethereum, Linea, Mantle, Optimism, Sonic, and ZKsync.

Both networks stressed that the project shows the government’s commitment to integrating cryptographic tools into official reporting. It also signals how blockchain can play a role in future economic data distribution. With Chainlink and Pyth at the center, the release sets the stage for more datasets to follow.
