The crypto markets are having, what appears to be, a pretty mediocre day so far. While most coins are seeing green, like NEO, there are others that have moved into the red zone, such as Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC).

NEO
NEO is currently selling for $68.89, which puts the coin up 1.46% in the past twenty-four hours. NEO is now ranked
