High-frequency trading (HFT) in cryptocurrency is a high-speed strategy that involves buying and selling large volumes of digital assets in nanoseconds. Most often, traders using HFT set up complex algorithms, artificial intelligence programs, and data feeds to multiple cryptocurrency exchanges to automatically monitor the market and perform time-sensitive trades. In this sense, HFT is a "hands-off" trading strategy, since the algorithms a trader uses submit and execute orders according to their programming.
