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.
