The U.S. Department of Commerce on 28 Aug 2025 began publishing official macroeconomic statistics directly to public blockchains, starting with gross domestic product figures. The move is designed to widen public access to key economic indicators and enable automated use of the data by digital-asset applications. Oracle provider Chainlink is handling the on-chain transmission, while cryptocurrency exchanges Coinbase, Gemini and Kraken are supplying the tokens and infrastructure needed to broadcast the figures, the companies said. Kraken added that it was selected to purchase the crypto assets required for the effort. According to Cointelegraph, Chainlink Data Feeds already distribute the information across at least 10 networks, including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Optimism and ZKsync. Developers, investors and researchers can now retrieve the data in near real time, potentially streamlining analytics and compliance tools. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the initiative sets a new standard for transparency and data accessibility. Chainlink described it as the largest government data-on-chain project to date and signaled that additional economic series will follow.
