NEO Enters New Era, XRP Expands Reach, IOTA Gets Schooled and VeChain Revamps Roadmap

From NEO’s big node news to a fork in VeChain’s token migration, here’s a look at some of the stories breaking today in the world of crypto.

NEO

NEO says it’s entering “the era of decentralization” and will no longer run its own private nodes to power the network and validate transactions. NEO plans to open a public campaign in 2019, allowing token holders to vote on which organizations will run the backbone of the network.
