Commerce Anchors Q2 GDP to Public Blockchains, Names TRON a Primary Venue

The move serves as a pilot to create tamper‑evident, publicly verifiable records of federal statistics.

Overview

  • The BEA confirmed the Q2 2025 GDP figure of 3.3% was hashed on TRON, with the transaction hash 3f05633fb894aa6d6610c980975cca732a051edbbf5d8667799782cf2ae04040.
  • TRON was designated one of the primary networks for official data postings, while hashes were also broadcast to nine public chains via oracle partners Pyth and Chainlink with support from Coinbase, Gemini, and Kraken.
  • Only a cryptographic SHA‑256 fingerprint of the release was posted, enabling independent integrity checks without placing the underlying data on-chain.
  • Coverage links TRON’s August community-approved 60% fee cut to rising usage, with reported metrics of roughly $22 billion in daily settlements, about 8.8 million daily transactions, and more than $79 billion USDT circulating on TRON.
  • Officials and analysts describe the effort as a proof‑of‑concept, with governance, network selection criteria, and upstream data verification processes yet to be defined.
