Hilary Allen
The Guardian
What holds, and what fails, under pressure, standards and accountability.
Hilary Allen embodies The Guardian through sustained, evidence-grounded vigilance against systemic financial risk. The American University Washington College of Law professor does not merely critique crypto, she situates it within a broader pattern of regulatory rollback she finds genuinely alarming. Her Crisis Inquiry Commission experience gives her protective instinct the ballast of institutional memory, and her blunt warning that 'all indicators are flashing red' marks a scholar standing as a last line of interpretive defense.
“The gift I got from working with the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission is understanding that there are a lot of things that come together and you need to really look very broadly to understand systemic changes.”
“Crypto should have died many times already. What they wanted was a law that said, no, it's fine crypto special you do both — an industry that should have failed is being propped up through aggressive political spending.”
“All warning indicators are flashing red at the same time as we are pulling back old regulatory apparatus, so I think it's safe to say we're on the brink of a crisis.”
