Average Outputs per Transaction shows the mean number of outputs created by transactions included on a given day. It is the canonical output-side baseline in this family, so it tracks how many outputs the average transaction produced, not how much BTC each transaction sent.
A rising series means the average transaction is creating more outputs. A falling series means output-side construction is getting simpler. It is most informative with Median Outputs per Transaction and Outputs per Transaction (P90), which help separate a broad shift in structure from a move driven by the upper tail.
The key limitation is the mean itself. A subset of high-output transactions can lift the average even when the typical transaction is largely unchanged. Average output count therefore works best as the baseline view, not as a standalone read on typical transaction structure.
