Really didn’t think the whole crypto/NFT world would suck in the quants from tradfi so readily and quickly
I think most quants don’t care what they’re trading as long as you can automate most of it and convince yourself you have an edge. Crypto is great because it’s volatile, easy to access and signals that stopped working 15 years ago in equities still work here.

Data APIs for crypto are also pretty good compared to tradfi ones in addition to the data being free. So it's an easy place to experiment without a huge investment in resources

Plus 24/7 trading means fewer annoying edge cases to do with opening hours, holidays, different session types. Historical data is cheap. No need for a prime broker so access is easy. Lot sizes are tiny so you can experiment in live with almost no risk. Etc etc…
