TRON Selected by US Commerce Department for Official GDP Data Publication Amidst Network Adoption Surge Following 60% Fee Reduction

The US Commerce Department has selected the TRON blockchain to publish official GDP data, starting with Q2 2025 data. The Bureau of Economic Analysis recorded the data hash on TRON, acknowledging the network's ability to provide scale, speed, efficiency, and global accessibility. TRON's role in securing US economic data highlights the potential of blockchain technology in advancing transparency and trust in traditional institutions and decentralized systems.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has chosen the TRON blockchain to publish official Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data, starting with the second quarter 2025 release. The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) recorded the data hash on TRON, recognizing the network's ability to deliver scale, speed, efficiency, and global accessibility. This initiative underscores the potential of blockchain technology in advancing transparency and trust in traditional institutions and decentralized systems.

The move comes as part of the Trump administration's broader pro-crypto policy shift, which aims to position the U.S. as a global leader in blockchain technology. The decision to publish GDP data on TRON follows the Department's earlier initiative to post real-time GDP data on multiple blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, in July 2025 [1].

TRON's selection highlights its role as a trusted layer of infrastructure for secure data publication and financial transactions. The network's ability to handle over $22 billion in daily settlement and more than 8.8 million daily transactions has positioned it as a reliable platform for government data [2].

The selection of TRON also reflects the network's commitment to affordability and accessibility. In August 2025, TRON's community governance approved a 60 percent reduction in energy fees, driving adoption and surpassing 2.5 million daily active users, according to DeFiLlama data [2].

By publishing the GDP data hash on TRON, the U.S. government demonstrates its commitment to leading in blockchain innovation and advancing America's position as the global hub for digital trust and transparency. This initiative is expected to spur further exploration of decentralized technologies by governmental bodies to enhance data integrity and accessibility.
