TRON Tapped by US Commerce Dept for GDP Data; TRX Adoption Soars
TRON Selected for Official US Economic Data Publication
September 2, 2025 – Geneva, Switzerland – TRON DAO announced today that the U.S. Department of Commerce has selected the TRON blockchain to publish official economic data, starting with the second quarter gross domestic product (GDP) figures.
This marks the first time a federal agency has used a public blockchain to disseminate GDP data, highlighting the potential of decentralized technology to ensure transparency and global accessibility of crucial economic indicators. The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) reported a Q2 2025 GDP growth rate of 3.3 percent on an annualized basis. The corresponding data hash was immutably recorded on TRON with the transaction hash:

TRON's Role in Securing Economic Data
The Department of Commerce recorded the SHA256 hash of the official GDP release on TRON, recognizing the network’s ability to deliver scale, speed, efficiency, and global accessibility. TRON processes over $22 billion in daily settlements and handles more than 8.8 million daily transactions. This has established it as infrastructure for financial markets and the secure publication of government data.
“Publishing GDP data on chain is a powerful statement about the role TRON now plays as public infrastructure, not only for payments but for safeguarding some of the world’s most important information,” said Justin Sun, Founder of TRON. “This initiative shows how blockchain can advance transparency and trust in ways that strengthen both traditional institutions and decentralized systems. It is only the beginning of how public blockchains like TRON will redefine global access to data and finance.”
Publishing the GDP data hash on TRON emphasizes the role of decentralized networks in data integrity, accountability, and open access for citizens, researchers, and policymakers. It also shows the U.S. government’s interest in blockchain innovation and America’s position as a global hub for digital trust and transparency.
Network Adoption Surges After Fee Reduction
In August 2025, TRON’s community governance approved a 60 percent reduction in energy fees, which significantly lowered transaction costs and boosted adoption. Within days, TRON surpassed 2.5 million daily active users, exceeding both BNB Chain and Solana in activity, according to DeFiLlama data. This move preserves accessibility, particularly for stablecoin transfers, with over $79 billion in USDT circulating on the network.
Through its commitment to affordability and accessibility, TRON is building a foundation for growth and solidifying its position as vital infrastructure for the future global digital economy.
