The US GDP has officially been put on the blockchain! Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana have become new carriers of unalterable economic data.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has officially launched an unprecedented initiative to publish official economic statistics directly onto a public blockchain, covering the first batch of nine major networks, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL). This move not only makes the latest GDP data for 2025 “immutable,” but is also regarded as an important milestone in promoting the national-level application of blockchain.

Nine major public blockchains participate, US GDP首次 “on-chain”

On August 28, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced that it has released the official hash values of the 2025 quarterly GDP data on nine public blockchains, with some on-chain even directly recording the total GDP data.

The first batch of participating networks includes:

1. Bitcoin (BTC)

2. Ethereum (ETH)

3. Solana (SOL)

4. TRON, Stellar, Avalanche, Arbitrum One, Polygon PoS, Optimism

It is worth noting that the XRP Ledger and other mainstream public chains like Cardano did not appear on the initial list.

3.3% economic growth rate, data permanently retained

In the first release, the Department of Commerce published the GDP update data for July 2025, showing that the annual growth rate of the U.S. economy is 3.3%.

The US government stated that this initiative aims to:

· Ensure that federal economic data is tamper-proof.

· The ability to provide instant access to anyone globally

· Testing the feasibility of blockchain as a permanent data publishing platform

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick emphasized that this is an important step in the global transparency of the “realities of the U.S. economy” and echoes President Donald Trump’s blockchain policy blueprint.

Oracle synchronization distribution, expanding to DeFi and financial applications

To ensure data is widely available, the official channels distribute GDP and other macroeconomic indicators on-chain through two major oracle providers, Chainlink and Pyth, including:

1. GDP

2. PCE Price Index

3. Actual final sales amount (for private domestic buyers)

4. Chainlink stated that this data will be updated monthly or quarterly and can be used for:

· Automated Trading Strategy

· The composability of tokenized assets is enhanced

· New Type of Digital Asset Issuance

· Transparent dashboard driven by immutable data

· DeFi Risk Management Based on Macroeconomic Factors

Pyth points out that this data is now accessible in real-time for over 600 applications on more than 100 blockchains, bringing new application scenarios for the multi-chain ecosystem.

The Significance of Blockchain Becoming a National-Level Data Infrastructure

The launch of this project marks the extension of blockchain from the infrastructure of cryptocurrency asset trading to a national-level public data certification platform.

Long-term effects include:

1. Enhance government data transparency and credibility

2. Reduce the risk of data tampering and forgery.

3. Provide verifiable real-time macroeconomic data for the financial market.

4. Provide reliable data sources for DeFi, prediction markets, and smart contract trigger conditions.

Analysts believe that this is not only a strategic endorsement of blockchain technology by the United States, but it may also trigger other countries to follow suit, promoting the on-chainization of global economic data.

Conclusion

The US GDP on-chain project is not only a technical experiment but also a significant shift in national-level data governance models. As public chains like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana become permanent carriers of economic data, the future financial markets, DeFi protocols, and prediction markets will usher in more innovative applications based on “immutable” data. This may just be the beginning; the addition of more macro data and more chains will further solidify the United States’ position as a global leader in blockchain applications.
