Chainlink and Pyth chosen to bring US statistics on the blockchain

Do the United States want to show muscle in the Web3 arena? Here the American administration injects its economic data directly on the blockchain, with two unexpected allies: Chainlink and Pyth Network. An approach that raises a real question: calling on decentralized protocols to broadcast the GDP or the PCE index, is it just a crypto-friendly PR stunt or a sign of deeper mastery of this digital revolution? Spoiler: it is neither trivial nor anecdotal.

The choice of Chainlink: the American state in API mode on blockchain

Putting GDP on the blockchain is not at all the same as publishing a PDF on a government website. It makes this data immutable, accessible, verifiable, and potentially readable by smart contracts. And in this game, the US government does not choose just anyone.

Chainlink, the giant of decentralized oracles, has been selected to directly integrate flows from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Among them: real GDP, PCE, private final sales… in short, the backbone of American economic health. According to a Chainlink spokesperson, this data may evolve based on citizen demand or the direct initiative of the state.

Why Chainlink? Because its infrastructure allows automated execution of transactions in response to economic changes. 

The integrity of economic data is essential for global markets, and placing it on the blockchain opens new frontiers for transparency, accessibility, and composability in DeFi, enterprise use, and public accountability.

Immediate result? A 3% rise in LINK, Chainlink’s token, before stabilizing. And especially, a jump of 61% since early August.

This partnership is a way for the federal government to play according to Web3 rules without losing control. Government APIs become open, consultable, and programmable. With a certified oracle.

Pyth Network or state transparency in cryptographic version

Meanwhile, Pyth Network is the other horse the state is betting on. Less known than Chainlink, but just as formidable: Pyth already provides data for 100 blockchains and 600 applications. It is now the official channel for distributing onchain US GDP, according to the statement published by Pyth itself.

And this is just the beginning. Pyth plans quarterly GDP releases going back 5 years, with extension to other indicators. Why? Because: ” This wave of efficiency will establish the United States as a global leader in the digital revolution and unleash new economic power through this transformation “.

In its tweets, Pyth emphasizes this historic shift:

By ensuring verifiable and immutable publication of official statistics, Pyth opens a new chapter in how governments will use decentralized technologies. Economic data verified on the blockchain will fuel a new wave of tokenization, economic transparency, and data accountability. 

So this is not just an announcement. It is a hybrid model of framed transparency, where public figures become building blocks for decentralized markets… under state supervision.

4 key figures showing the scale of the project

• 70%: that is the increase of the PYTH token at the announcement of the agreement;
• 5 years: this is the retroactivity of the GDP data promised by Pyth;
• 600+: number of applications already interconnected with the Pyth protocol;
• 100+: blockchains integrated into Pyth’s ecosystem to distribute these flows.

The United States are accelerating strongly. After Chainlink and Pyth for GDP, now ChatGPT is summoned to modernize administration and relieve public agents. Confirming that the country is pressing harder than ever on the technological accelerator. The decentralized infrastructure is no longer in testing. It is in production.
