When did quantitative trading in the cryptocurrency field begin?

I think it was around 2014 that a small number of geeks developed quantitative trading programs, which were rudimentary and niche. There were a large number of spot price differences on exchanges from 2015 to 2017, so most traders still arbitraged through manual price differences. , a small number of geeks have developed spot hedging strategies to capture the price differences between different exchanges, such as early arbitrageurs represented by Bitcoin Genie, and strategy platforms suitable for programmers represented by fmz. After Bitcoin gradually prospered in 2017, programmers from all walks of life participated in the army of cryptocurrency quantitative trading. Especially after contract trading became popular, quantitative trading strategies based on the contract market were gradually developed, such as spot arbitrage strategy and period arbitrage strategy. wait. In 2022, decentralized exchanges will prosper, and quantitative trading software based on the primary market will appear, so-called "clips" and other programmatic arbitrage methods will appear.

It can be seen from this that compared with the traditional trading market, quantitative trading of emerging cryptocurrencies is still in its infancy. Centralized trading entities represented by Binance are gradually improving and developing. I believe that cryptocurrency quantitative trading is expected to show explosive growth in the future.

I have a small idea to publish a professional cryptocurrency quantitative trading book in the future and create a simple, practical and popular cryptocurrency quantitative trading tool.
