The U.S. Department of Commerce recently announced that, starting in July 2025, it will simultaneously publish quarterly U.S. GDP data on nine blockchains, including TRON. This initiative not only marks the first time a U.S. federal agency has published national economic statistics on a blockchain, but also marks a key milestone in the integration of blockchain technology into the national governance system. As the only Chinese and Asian public blockchain selected, TRON's inclusion in this context highlights its engineering reliability and global reach, providing a solid foundation and a model path for the widespread access, rapid verification, and secondary use of official data.

Justin Sun, founder of TRON, said, “This demonstrates TRON’s important position in the global blockchain ecosystem and its technological credibility.”

Federal Data "On-chain": The United States continues to send global signals

According to revised estimates from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), U.S. GDP will grow at an annual rate of 3.3% in July 2025. The official hash value of this critical data, along with GDP totals in selected scenarios, is published on nine blockchains: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, TRON, Stellar, Avalanche, Arbitrum One, Polygon PoS, and Optimism. Oracles such as Python and Chainlink, as well as major exchanges like Coinbase, Gemini, and Kraken, also help ensure data distribution and verification.

U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick said: “It’s fitting that the U.S. Department of Commerce and ‘Crypto President’ Donald Trump have chosen to publish economic statistics on the blockchain. We are making America’s economic truth immutable and publicly available globally in an unprecedented way, further solidifying America’s position as the blockchain capital of the world.”

This statement not only emphasizes the transparency of economic data, but also sends a global signal: blockchain is moving from a "financial laboratory" to a "national governance tool" and from the edge of the industry to the core of sovereignty.

Why TRON Was Selected: Proven Global Public Chain Infrastructure

Among the nine selected blockchains, TRON holds a particularly special position. As the only Chinese and Asian public blockchain, TRON's inclusion on the US Department of Commerce's "Trusted List" is a result of years of continuous technological development and ecosystem expansion.

TRON's inclusion in the list is viewed by the industry as a testament to its infrastructure stability and broad reach. Observations from multiple third-party research institutions in the second quarter of 2025 indicate that the TRON network maintains high-frequency operation under real-world load, with average daily transaction volume ranging from approximately 7.5 million to 9.5 million, and active addresses remaining stable between 2.3 million and 2.7 million. Following recent dynamic adjustments to fees, the network maintains low-cost, high-availability characteristics in terms of throughput and latency, providing favorable conditions for the global dissemination and rapid verification of the official hash.

Stablecoin settlement volume is another key dimension in assessing a blockchain's "public distribution channel capabilities." By mid-2025, USDT on TRON exceeded $82 billion, maintaining strong stickiness and capacity for high-frequency transactions such as cross-border small-value payments, remittances, and e-commerce. With macroeconomic data on-chain, combined with the account coverage and transfer radius of these "stablecoin home" networks, the speed of official data access and end-to-end verification efficiency are expected to be further improved.

Furthermore, TRON has built a diverse ecosystem encompassing DeFi, stablecoins, cross-chain assets, NFTs, and GameFi, fostering a vast user base and widespread adoption. Since its founding, TRON has continuously engaged in regulatory engagement and compliance initiatives with numerous countries around the world. This open and collaborative approach has earned TRON the trust of international institutions and played a significant role in its selection.

Far-reaching significance: the combination of blockchain and public governance

This innovative practice by the U.S. Department of Commerce represents a successful proof-of-concept implementation of blockchain in national governance. Economic data is a core indicator of national performance, and its authority previously relied primarily on government agencies. Now, by leveraging blockchain, its authenticity, transparency, and immutability are unprecedentedly guaranteed. This not only enhances public trust in official data but also provides a model for other governments around the world.

For TRON, this cooperation with the U.S. Department of Commerce has opened up new possibilities for its future development.

First, at the national level, TRON's technological advantages, including high performance, low cost, and secure and scalable technology, have further solidified its position as a public data infrastructure. This signifies that its public blockchain capabilities have been recognized by national institutions, providing credible support for future blockchain-based applications involving economic data, public statistics, and even social governance. As global digitization accelerates, TRON is poised to become a critical bridge connecting government data with public use.

At the same time, this endorsement has also injected strong momentum into TRON's international cooperation and industrial value upgrade. TRON will have the opportunity to be applied in the governance scenarios of more international organizations and multinational institutions in the future. It will also promote its influence from the financial and payment fields to public governance and data transparency, further amplifying its ecological value and industry voice.

With the United States incorporating blockchain into its national data publishing system, the public value of the blockchain industry is being redefined. TRON's inclusion is not only a technical collaboration, but also a strategic recognition from global governance. Going forward, TRON will continue to uphold an open and innovative spirit, promoting the application of blockchain in diverse areas, including data governance, financial inclusion, cross-border payments, and even digital nationhood.

At this historic juncture, TRON once again stands at the forefront of the industry. The decentralized vision it represents is moving from the crypto world to the core of the real world.
