From Our Sponsor
Chainlink and the United States Department of Commerce have worked together to bring U.S. government macroeconomic data onchain.
These new Chainlink Data Feeds securely deliver critical information around key U.S. economy metrics onchain, sourced from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, such as Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index.
This development builds upon Chainlink’s accelerated work with the U.S. government in 2025, including meeting with several key officials and regulators to make policy recommendations that are advancing the growth of the blockchain industry.
