Vice President and member of Blockstream’s executive team, Fernando Nikolic, recently announced his departure from the company to launch Perception, a market intelligence platform for the Bitcoin, stablecoins, and tokenized finance industry.
“Over recent months, I’ve been speaking on various podcasts about how the media landscape is becoming increasingly fragmented, creating real challenges for anyone trying to understand what’s actually happening in our industry,” said Fernando Nikolic.
Nikolic played a central role in Blockstream’s growth during a period when the company expanded its Bitcoin infrastructure products, including the Liquid Network, mining services, and satellite communications. His work contributed to Blockstream’s position as a key player in Bitcoin development.
Perception will focus on aggregating and analyzing data from the increasingly fragmented digital asset media ecosystem. The goal is to give investors, builders, and institutions access to clearer information about developments in the space. The platform will also include an advisory arm to help clients interpret market signals and trends.
Nikolic added that the shift from building infrastructure to addressing information gaps reflects his evolving priorities. “After four incredible years as part of Blockstream’s executive team, I’ve gained clarity about the kind of impact I want to create in this space,” he stated. “The opportunity to build something that addresses real market needs and helps shape how institutions understand this ecosystem is incredibly energizing. I’m grateful for my time at Blockstream and excited about this next chapter.”
Nikolic confirmed that Perception is in the early stages of development, actively assembling a team and speaking with several companies about potential use cases for the platform. No official launch date has been announced.
