For the first time in history, a U.S. federal agency has published official GDP data to public blockchains. The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) recorded the Q2 2025 GDP growth rate of 3.3% annualized on TRON, with the data’s SHA256 hash permanently secured on the network.
The Department of Commerce cited TRON’s proven scale, speed, and accessibility as reasons for selecting it as a platform for critical economic indicators. With more than $22 billion in daily settlement and 8.8 million daily transactions, TRON has evolved into a trusted infrastructure layer beyond payments—now extending to data integrity and transparency for government reporting.
Justin Sun, TRON’s founder, called the move a “powerful statement” on blockchain’s role in safeguarding vital information. He stressed that publishing GDP data onchain is just the beginning of how public blockchains will expand transparency and redefine global access to data and finance.
The milestone also reflects America’s push to maintain leadership in blockchain innovation, reinforcing its position as a global hub for digital trust. TRON’s community-driven fee reduction in August 2025 further accelerated adoption, slashing energy fees by 60% and boosting daily active users past 2.5 million, surpassing BNB Chain and Solana. The network’s dominance in stablecoin transfers also continues, with $79 billion in USDT circulating on TRON.
By pairing affordability with accessibility, TRON is carving out a critical role as a foundational layer of the global digital economy—securing not just payments, but also essential public data.
Final Thought
The U.S. government’s decision to publish GDP data on TRON signals blockchain’s growing role in strengthening transparency and accountability. With rising adoption and leadership in stablecoin transfers, TRON is positioning itself as essential infrastructure for the digital economy of the future.
