For crypto you pay the miners to put your transaction first. You don't need millisecond precission reaction time.

Crypto trading takes place on exchanges, not the blockchain though?

In crypto, you have centralised (e.g. Coinbase) and decentralised exchanges (e.g. Uniswap). Decentralised exchanges operate onchain via smart contracts.
