Silence Laboratories Buyer Map
Vic Kaul | Silence Laboratories | October 2026
As of 13 Oct 2026
This page maps the organizations that fit what Silence Laboratories sells: key protection for digital assets, stablecoin payments in one integration, and privacy preserving computation for financial institutions. The groups follow the use cases your own site names, from custody and wallets to banks, payment providers, remittance, payroll and gig platforms.
Where a group has a clean public count, it shows US firms by industry, banded by headcount. Crypto custodians, wallets, remittance companies and gig platforms have no clean public count, so the page says so rather than guess.
Where your buyers sit
Firms, not branches or products. Counts cover the United States only; your site serves many more countries.
| Group | Organizations in the US | Under 20 staff | 20 to 99 | 100 to 499 | 500 or more |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Digital asset custodians, wallet providers and on-chain trading platforms | no clean public count | ||||
| Banks and credit unions | about 9,200 | about 3,600 | about 3,500 | about 1,700 | about 460 |
| Payment processors and payment service providers | about 3,500 | about 3,200 | about 180 | about 97 | about 87 |
| Remittance and cross-border money transfer companies | no clean public count | ||||
| Payroll service companies | about 4,500 | about 3,300 | about 740 | about 300 | about 190 |
| Gig and delivery platforms with large contractor workforces | no clean public count |
US firm counts by industry code, banded deliberately.
Who usually signs off at each
Typical titles in each group. The person who signs and the person who champions are often different.
| Group | Usually signs off | Also in the room |
|---|---|---|
| Custodians, wallets and trading platforms | CTO or CISO | Head of custody or wallet product, head of engineering |
| Banks and credit unions | Chief Risk Officer or CISO for key security; head of payments for stablecoins | Head of financial crime or AML, chief data officer, innovation lead |
| Payment processors and service providers | Chief Product Officer or CTO | Head of compliance, head of risk and fraud |
| Remittance and money transfer companies | CEO or Chief Product Officer | Head of compliance, head of treasury |
| Payroll service companies | Chief Product Officer | Head of payments, CFO |
| Gig and delivery platforms | Head of trust and safety | Head of fraud and risk, data platform lead |
Where the conversation usually starts
Your site speaks to two different rooms. Key protection and stablecoin payments land with product and engineering leaders, who own the integration and the security review. Privacy preserving computation lands with risk, compliance and fraud leaders, who own the screening problem and the data they cannot share today.
Your site already speaks to both rooms. The custody page leads on security, performance and on-prem deployment, which is the security reviewer's checklist. The anti-fraud and cross-border pages lead on keeping data in place and meeting privacy rules, which is the compliance leader's first question.
