🏛️ US Government will put economic data on the Blockchain. Earlier this year, the United States published its National Blockchain Roadmap – the American Blockchain Act of 2025, outlining how Blockchain will underpin government and public services. 🌍 To date, only *15* countries worldwide have developed a National Blockchain Roadmap, signalling a new era of global competition for digital trust, transparency, and innovation. 🇺🇸This move by the U.S. Department of Commerce highlights Blockchain’s growing role as a foundation for open government, resilient economies, and citizen trust. #Blockchain #DigitalEconomy #Policy #USA #Innovation #EvidenceBasedBlockchain U.S. Department of Commerce #Blockchain #Economy #Data

🚨 BREAKING: United States puts GDP on the Blockchain The 🇺🇸 U.S. Department of Commerce has announced that it will begin publishing official statistics — including GDP and national budget — directly on the Blockchain. 👉 This marks the first time a G7 economy will anchor its core economic data on-chain, ensuring immutability, transparency, and trust. ⏳ At The British Blockchain Association, we highlighted this in a post a couple of years ago on how national budgets and economic data could be published on the blockchain to strengthen public trust:

This paper was first presented at the BBA's Annual International Scientific Conference in London on 4 April 2025: https://lnkd.in/gyAAZP7G ✅ Key Takeaways: 1. Institutional Reforms Are Essential: Blockchain offers transparency and efficiency, but in markets like Nigeria, historical governance failures (e.g., fraud and regulatory delays) mean tech alone isn’t enough - robust frameworks are needed to prevent risks like disintermediation eroding trust. 2. Hybrid Adoption Model Recommended: A spectrum from radical decentralisation to conservative integration exists; emerging African markets should opt for hybrid approaches that retain centralised oversight for asset custody and enforcement, drawing lessons from pilots like South Africa’s Project Khokha. 3. Balancing Innovation with Stability: Without reforms in accountability and enforcement, blockchain could exacerbate inequalities; pairing it with agile regulation and independent adjudication can drive inclusive growth. ✅ 📖 Read the Full Article – Open Access in The JBBA here:
