Our model projects NEO at $0.4423 in 2030 and $0.7846 by 2036 — -66.6% against today's $2.35 in the base case. The 2030 range runs from $0.0202 in the bear case to $4.85 in the bull case.

Why below today's price? Most altcoins lose ground to Bitcoin over a full cycle — between the 2021 and 2025 peaks, only 3.5% of those we measured gained on it — and the model starts NEO from that base rate. Why Most Altcoins Lose to Bitcoin, Cycle After Cycle

NEO price prediction year by year

Year-end central forecast and the band around it. Select a year for the model's reasoning. In 2026, a quarter that has already begun and has no forecast of its own shows the observed closing price instead: “close” once the quarter is over, “latest close” while it is still under way.

NEO: the case for and against

What our documented research establishes about the project itself, with its sources. It is an assessment of the project, not the reason behind the number: the price model reads price series only.

NEO is a long-standing blockchain project with public founders and active codebase updates. While it demonstrates ongoing engineering activity via node updates and EVM sidechain work, its ecosystem traction and liquidity have diminished significantly relative to market competitors.

Strengths

Neo maintains active development and protocol upgrades, including the launch and maintenance of Neo X, an EVM-compatible sidechain with MEV protection. — neo.org

The project has a public, known founding team and a continuous operational track record dating back to 2014. en.wikipedia.org ↗

Risks

Neo has experienced a long-term loss of developer mindshare and user adoption compared to competing Layer 1 and Layer 2 ecosystems. — cryptorank.io

Derivative demand has softened, highlighted by exchange delistings of NEO perpetual futures contracts in mid-2026. — cryptorank.io

Red flags

Declining ecosystem adoption and developer traction despite ongoing core upgrades

Governance friction and foundation restructuring proposals within leadership

Model confidence

Model confidence for NEO in 2030

The band is built to hold the price 82% of the time. The published confidence, 5.8/10, sits lower: it starts from what our documented research establishes about the project itself, and nothing raises it back.

Only the nearest horizons rest on a backtest. Later years carry a declared level — the band’s design level, capped by our research score — that no backtest can confirm yet; where one found the band holding the price less often, we publish that lower figure.
