The US Department of Commerce announced that it has begun publishing real gross domestic product (GDP) data on the blockchain, starting with the July 2025 figures.

According to revised estimates released by the US Bureau of Economic Analysis, GDP rose at an annual rate of 3.3% in July 2025.

This marks the first time a federal agency has released official economic statistical data on the blockchain, reflecting the Department’s ongoing use of innovative technologies to protect federal data and expand public access.

For its initial release, the Department published an official hash of its quarterly GDP data for 2025, and in some cases the topline GDP number, across nine blockchains: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, TRON, Stellar, Avalanche, Arbitrum One, Polygon PoS and Optimism.

The data was further distributed through the oracles Pyth and Chainlink, with the support of leading exchanges Coinbase, Gemini and Kraken in facilitating the release.

The Department confirmed it will continue to explore opportunities to publish future datasets, such as GDP, across a wider range of blockchains, oracles and exchanges.

This initiative is designed to demonstrate the broad applicability of blockchain technology and to serve as a proof of concept for future government use.

“It’s only fitting that the Commerce Department and President Donald Trump, the Crypto-President, publicly release economic statistical data on the blockchain,”

said US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick.

“We are making America’s economic truth immutable and globally accessible like never before, cementing our role as the blockchain capital of the world. And everybody has to admit that 3.3% GDP growth is impressive.”
