About Hilary

Hilary J. Allen is Professor of Law at American University Washington College of Law and one of the most-influential academic critics of crypto-asset deregulation in the United States. Her published research and policy commentary focus on financial stability implications of crypto-asset markets, stablecoin systemic risk, and the broader question of whether crypto-asset financial infrastructure should be integrated with or quarantined from the traditional financial system. Her book "Driverless Finance" addresses the broader question of automation and financial-system stability with substantial application to crypto-asset frameworks.
