TRON Overtakes BNB and Solana as U.S. Records GDP Data On-Chain

In a historic first for blockchain and public finance, the U.S. Department of Commerce has used the TRON network to immutably record Q2 GDP data, showing a 3.3% annualized growth. This move highlights the growing trust in decentralized systems for securing and verifying official statistics.

TRON was chosen due to its high throughput, handling over 8.8 million daily transactions and $22 billion in settlements. Founder Justin Sun emphasized this as proof that blockchains can protect crucial public information.

Recently, TRON slashed energy fees by 60%, triggering a surge in usage. With over 2.5 million daily active users, TRON has now surpassed BNB Chain and Solana, strengthening its position as a key layer in the global digital economy.

Analysts see the U.S. move as symbolic and strategic, paving the way for more government indicators to be made transparent via public blockchains in the future.
