U.S. government begins publishing GDP data on blockchain, initially covering nine blockchains
According to Bloomberg, the U.S. government began publishing Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data on public blockchains on Thursday, marking the latest support from the Trump administration for the cryptocurrency industry. According to officials from the Department of Commerce, this move will open another avenue for releasing economic data—though it will not replace existing methods. The U.S. government's initiative will initially cover nine blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. The plan is to place the so-called cryptographic hash values of this data on these blockchains.
Department of Commerce officials stated that the Trump administration intends to seek to expand the coverage of this program in the future. They clarified that the blockchain initiative is unrelated to the dismissal of the Bureau of Labor Statistics director. Officials noted that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is the driving force behind the push to publish data on the blockchain. Earlier this year, Lutnick also indicated plans to change the way GDP is reported to eliminate the impact of government spending. GDP data is released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis under the Department of Commerce.
According to market news, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced that the U.S. government has released the latest GDP data for Bitcoin, Ethereum, SOLANA, TRON, STELLAR, AVALANCHE, ARBITRUM, and POLYGON.
