South Korea’s Upbeat exchange provides NEO with about 37% of its trading volume. Da Hong Fei, the co-founder of NEO, found himself interested in the bustling world of cryptocurrency in 2011, and in 2013 he began working full time in the trading business. In 2014, Da Hong Fei, along with partner and core developer Zhang Zhengwen Jang, co-founded the Cryprocurrency Antshares, which this summer made its full transition into NEO, following re-branding. NEO's Gas token NEO’s Gas token is the currency that powers tokens built on the NEO blockchain and smart contracts. Around 54% of trading volume for Neo's Gas Token comes from Binance.
