Every day, new ICOs are launched. While not every ICO will be a success, a few will make the platform owners mega rich. Below is a look at 10 of the most successful ICOs of all time.
\r\n\r\nNEO was developed by Da Hongfei. Known as \"China’s Ethereum\", NEO has the backing of the Chinese government, Microsoft, and Alibaba.
