BNB Chain Taps Chainlink to Stream BEA Economic Metrics Onchain
The move delivers BEA metrics to smart contracts on a cadence that mirrors official releases.
Overview
- BNB Chain integrated Chainlink’s Data Standard and Price Feeds to publish official U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis statistics directly onchain.
- Available indicators include Gross Domestic Product, the PCE Price Index, and Real Final Sales sourced from the U.S. Department of Commerce.
- The feeds update monthly or quarterly in line with the BEA’s release schedule, aligning onchain reactions with traditional market timelines.
- Developers can build inflation‑linked tokens, GDP‑benchmarked derivatives, prediction markets, and macro‑aware risk systems using verified federal data.
- Chainlink launched this service across multiple chains in late August, and BNB Chain’s adoption expands access to one of the largest DeFi developer communities.
