After GDP, U.S. may put CPI data on blockchain, according to Mike Cahill

The U.S. Department of Commerce has teamed up with Pyth Network to publish official economic data on blockchains, a move that signals Washington’s push toward modernizing financial infrastructure.

Mike Cahill, CEO of Douro Labs — the primary developer of Pyth Network — told TheStreet Roundtable that the current administration is intent on making the U.S. a leader in digital assets.

“The current administration is very crypto friendly and happy to explore the innovations that this allows,” Cahill said. “There is a real appetite for the United States to become the world leader in financial technology innovation.”

He noted that U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s experience modernizing Treasury markets played a role in advancing the partnership. 

“I think he saw this as a resonation of this is going to be good for the entire economy. This is a modernization story,” Cahill said.
