Chainlink Brings Government-Grade Macrodata Onchain for Blockchain Apps

Chainlink has announced a collaboration with the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) to make official U.S. macroeconomic data available onchain through Chainlink Data Feeds.

The integration sources data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), enabling blockchain applications to securely access key economic indicators such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, and Real Final Sales to Private Domestic Purchasers.

Six Official Economic Indicators Now Available Onchain

According to Chainlink Labs, six macroeconomic datasets from the BEA are now accessible through Chainlink Data Feeds. These include Real GDP (level and annualized percentage change), the PCE Price Index (level and annualized percentage change), and Real Final Sales to Private Domestic Purchasers (level and annualized percentage change).

Chainlink said the integration could support inflation-linked digital assets, automated trading strategies, perpetual futures, prediction markets, tokenized asset platforms, transparent economic dashboards, and DeFi risk management.
