On January 9th, the U.S. President prematurely posted the non-farm employment data on social media—almost a day before the official release. According to the data, since January, the U.S. private sector has added 654,000 jobs, while government employment has decreased by 181,000.
The official later claimed this was an "unintentional leak" and stated that they would review the data release process and embargo agreements. The President himself denied any responsibility. Interestingly, the market reaction was surprisingly calm—U.S. stock index futures only fluctuated slightly, with no major abnormal movements.
However, the underlying issues exposed by this incident are worth paying attention to. As economic data forms the basis for market decisions, who gains an early advantage from the leak? Where is the fairness? Will market participants' trust in official data be undermined as a result?
This is a question the crypto industry has been contemplating. When centralized information dissemination mechanisms repeatedly have vulnerabilities, the demand for "trustless" systems and verifiable data becomes more practical. What can blockchain technology offer? Transparency, immutable records, and the possibility for all participants to access information simultaneously. This is not some lofty technological ideal, but a practical response to the flaws of existing systems.
