First, most good trading, crypto or not, is systematic, which is automated.

Then, from what people have told me, crypto is a highly inefficient market so huge of potential for market-making strategies. Tons of arbitrage opportunities between the various venues, centralized and decentralized, mostly uninformed non-professionals so non-toxic flow, huge spreads, etc. It's like the traditional tradi'g world but 30 years in the past.

"Grid trading" is apparently just a weird term for placing orders proactively on multiple levels to obtain a better queue position, useful for increasing edge capture on exchanges with price-time matching. There are a lot more sophisticated techniques you could transfer from the world of traditional electronic trading. Of they're successful on much more competitive markets, no reason they wouldn't work on crypto.
