A recent claim by ChainCatcher, a blockchain infrastructure provider, suggests the U.S. government plans to publish GDP data on the blockchain. However, these claims lack official confirmation from U.S. sources and have sparked concerns among economists. Analysis of this potential initiative indicates that it raises questions about blockchain’s role in public statistics and its potential impact on market trust. While ChainCatcher suggests a plan shared during a White House meeting, involving the Department of Commerce, no verified documentation exists to support these statements. This lack of official confirmation has led many economists to remain skeptical regarding data accuracy and leadership actions.
