According to the statement, GDP, Personal Consumption Expenditure Index (PCE), and US Domestic Demand Strength data will be securely transferred onto the blockchain using Chainlink and Pyth oracles. The ministry also added that it received assistance from Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini exchanges in distributing the data.

At this point, the ministry has published an official summary of quarterly GDP data for 2025 on the following nine blockchains: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, TRON, Stellar, Avalanche, Arbitrum One, Polygon PoS, and Optimism. Data was also further disseminated through coordination with oracles Pyth and Chainlink.
