US Government Publishes GDP Data On Blockchains: A First in History

The U.S. Commerce Department has revolutionized economic data transparency by publishing GDP data directly onto public blockchains. This historic move, led by Secretary Howard Lutnick, marks the first use of blockchain for official economic statistics and sets a new precedent for government transparency. Supported by key exchanges like Gemini, Coinbase, and Kraken, this initiative facilitates secure data posting, with notable transaction activity observed on various chains including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.
