NEO is up by 17.6% in the past 24 hours and is trading at $13.66 when writing. It’s important to note that the asset registered a 91% rise over the past 30 days.

Data shows that the total market cap of NEO is currently sitting at $963 million, making it the 50th largest cryptocurrency. Neo’s 24-hour trading volume surged by 316%, reaching $613 million.
