Payments Count
Bitcoin
This counts the number of payments (individual outputs/transfers) on the Bitcoin network.
Why it matters
It measures economic activity at a finer grain than transaction count, since one transaction can hold many payments.
How it is built
Distinct payment outputs across transactions are counted over the period.
What to watch
Rising payment counts reflect broadening on-chain economic use and settlement demand.
