The U.S. Department of Commerce has made a landmark decision to utilize blockchain technology for official economic data publication, selecting the TRON network among eight other blockchains to secure and distribute Q2 2025 GDP data. This marks the first time a federal agency has used public blockchains to publish critical economic information.
The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) reported a 3.3% GDP growth rate for Q2 2025, with the corresponding data hash permanently recorded on the TRON blockchain (transaction hash: 3f05633fb894aa6d6610c980975cca732a051edbbf5d8667799782cf2ae04040). This move is part of a broader U.S. government initiative to establish the country as the "blockchain capital of the world," as praised by Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick.
TRON founder Justin Sun celebrated the endorsement, highlighting the network's capability to process over $22 billion in daily settlements and 8.8 million transactions, positioning TRON as trusted infrastructure for government data. The selection comes amid TRON's aggressive growth strategy, including a recent 60% reduction in network fees that led to surpassing 2.5 million daily active users and solidified its leadership in stablecoin transfers with over $79 billion in USDT circulating on the platform.
