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

By Daily Hodl Staff

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.

IOTA

One of the oldest universities in the Americas will offer a course on IOTA and distributed ledger technology. Peru’s National University of San Marcos says it is “essential to introduce the subject of blockchain as part of the syllabus of the Distributed Systems course for Computer Science students.”

VeChain

VeChain is revamping its roadmap in response to concerns about the platform’s upcoming token swap. VeChain says it will extend the X Node migration period and give people 10 more days to make sure they can move their coins from the Ethereum network to the new VeChainThor blockchain.

XRP

The cryptocurrency exchange Coinome just launched three new XRP trading pairs. The platform has paired XRP with Litecoin, DigiByte and Bitcoin Cash.
