U.S. SEC names David Woodcock as enforcement director with no crypto track record
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has appointed David Woodcock as its new enforcement director, selecting a figure without a clear track record directly tied to crypto policy. Woodcock is set to lead the roughly 1,000-person enforcement division from May 4. The appointment follows Margaret Ryan’s sudden resignation, after a six-month tenure. The SEC’s enforcement actions fell to 456 in fiscal 2025, down 22 percent from the prior year.
