The crypto market is abuzz after news that Chainlink has partnered with the US Department of Commerce to integrate critical macroeconomic data onto blockchain networks.
Chainlink price rose amid the announcement, with LINK token jumping 6% at the time of writing to change hands near $26.
Chainlink teams up with US government for onchain initiative
The US Department of Commerce (DOC) wants to bring macroeconomic data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) onchain, and the agency is tapping into Chainlink.
As announced in a blog post on August 28, 2025, the partnership aims at delivering key US economic indicators, including real Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index, and Sales to Private Domestic Purchasers to the blockchain.
With Chainlink riding bullish sentiment as a leading decentralized oracle network, its latest partnership only helps cement its status.
Notably, the oracle network will help bring the macroeconomic data to ten blockchain ecosystems, including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, and Optimism.
The move marks the first time the government is bringing its economic data to the blockchain, with features such as onchain verifiability, security and transparency key.
DOC will leverage Chainlink’s Onchain Data Protocol (ODP) to offer access to data, with developers able to easily integrate these into decentralized applications (dApps).
“By working with the US Department of Commerce to bring US macroeconomic data onchain, Chainlink’s growing ecosystem of Web3 and institutional users now have secure access to new categories of data to unlock new markets,” Chainlink noted in the blog post.
Integration will help unlock innovative use cases such as automated trading strategies, tokenized asset composability, real-time prediction markets, and decentralized finance protocol risk management.
These will tap into macroeconomic factors.
Chainlink’s growing traction
The move to collaborate with the government adds to Chainlink’s growing traction across the globe.
It also particularly expands the blockchain platform’s engagement with policymakers in the US, with key milestones including collaboration with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Crypto Task Force.
Chainlink’s infrastructure already secures tens of billions of dollars worth of total value locked (TVL) across DeFi.
As well as integration of price feeds and other solutions across protocols like Aave and Compound, Chainlink has also collaborated with global companies and entities such as SBI Group, Swift, Euroclear, Fidelity, UBS, and ANZ.
Big news for LINK?
With potential to expand to additional blockchains based on demand, the latest deal with the Department of Commerce will only add to the growth trajectory. LINK token, native to the platform, could see massive upside amid broader accumulation.
Demand for Chainlink’s solutions has seen several companies and platforms pay hundreds of millions of dollars for integration.
The revenue from these efforts, which are paid offchain for onchain access, is set to go into a LINK reserve Chainlink recently unveiled.
As well as ETF anticipation and treasury moves, analysts see LINK price much higher than it currently is.
