- Nansen data shows Avalanche weekly transactions rose 66 percent after the US began posting GDP data on public blockchains. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
- Avalanche recorded about 11.9 million transactions and over 181,300 active addresses in seven days, according to Nansen. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Avalanche recorded the strongest week-on-week growth in on-chain transactions as the US Department of Commerce began publishing GDP data on multiple public blockchains, a move that has drawn fresh attention to high-throughput networks.
U.S. Commerce Department begins posting GDP data on nine blockchains
The Department of Commerce said on August 28 that gross domestic product data would be published on nine public networks including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Avalanche.
The initiative is framed as a proof-of-concept to make official statistics broadly verifiable through cryptographic proofs. Industry oracle providers Chainlink and Pyth were selected to deliver authenticated feeds for smart-contract consumption.
The announcement followed a week of signals from Washington that federal data distribution could incorporate decentralized infrastructure. The department indicated that the rollout starts with the July 2025 GDP series, with subsequent releases expected to follow across the same set of chains.
Avalanche weekly transactions rise 66 percent to 11.9 million, Nansen says
Against that backdrop, Nansen reported that Avalanche led all tracked networks by seven-day transaction growth at plus 66 percent. The firm’s on-chain dashboard and X post placed Avalanche ahead of other rising ecosystems over the same period.

Activity on Avalanche reached roughly 11.9 million transactions over the week, with more than 181,300 active addresses engaging on the network. These figures indicate an acceleration in usage rather than a single event spike, aligning with recent observations of higher daily throughput on the C-Chain.
For developers and institutions that rely on deterministic settlement and rapid finality, the confluence of government data availability and scaling capacity is material.
Posting GDP data on-chain allows market participants to verify release integrity and timestamping without relying on a single website or file server.
It also opens a path for automated contracts to reference official macro series directly, which could underpin tokenised funds, collateral policies and hedging strategies that require authoritative inputs.
Whether the uplift in transactions converts into durable economic activity on Avalanche will depend on follow-through from data publishers and middleware adoption by applications.
Near-term indicators to watch include sustained active address counts, validator participation, and changes in average fees per transaction as usage normalises after the initial deployment phase.
At the time of press, Avalanche (AVAX) is trading at $23.57, having declined by $1.31, which equates to a –5.26 % drop compared to the previous closing price. The intraday high reached $25.18, while the intraday low sat at $23.57.
