For crypto prices today, Bitcoin rebounded and hovered near the $4,300 level, while Ethereum pushed past the $300 mark.

Crypto PricesOne of the biggest stories this week has been the news that companies are acquiring Bitcoin for the sole purpose of holding it in the future should they experience a cyber breach from criminals.

In the wake of the HBO hack - which compromised communications among network officials as well as unreleased shows and materials - companies have been accumulating cryptocurrencies in the event they need to make a "bug bounty" payment.

The total market capitalization of the cryptocurrency industry topped $140 billion Wednesday.

Below is a recap of cryptocurrency prices at 3:30 p.m. EDT...

Bitcoin: $4,298.65, +4.38%

Ethereum: $301.42, +4.56%

Ripple: $0.158, -1.60%

Bitcoin Cash: $297.46, +0.29%

NEO: $47.41, +6.85%

Now that we know all of today's price movements, here's what has been moving these cryptocurrencies...

Bitcoin Prices Today: Bitcoin Recovers on Wednesday

Bitcoin prices rebounded from Tuesday's decline thanks to investors stepping in and buying on the dip.

There's also a push for a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) again.

Fund manager VanEck has submitted a new prospectus to the SEC for an actively managed ETF that would allow investors to purchase stakes in derivatives that are tied to the underlying commodity.

Bitcoin Cash Prices Recover After Big Downturn

The Bitcoin Cash price was moving slightly higher Wednesday on news that the BCH blockchain had surpassed 37,000 transactions since its inception.

It took just 16 days for BCH to reach this level.

The Top 5 Cryptocurrencies to Invest in Today

Ethereum Prices Push Higher

Ethereum prices followed Bitcoin higher on Wednesday. The cryptocurrency was rebounding past the $300 mark.

Total volumes sat just below $1 billion over the last 24 hours. The total market capitalization hit $28 billion, which is significantly lower than Bitcoin's $70 billion cap.

NEO Prices Continue to Soar Higher

It was another good day for the cryptocurrency vying to become the "Ethereum of China." NEO became the sixth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, as it approached $50.00 per coin.

With a market cap of $2.445 billion, NEO has moved past Litecoin. The price has rallied more than 125% in the last week thanks to increasing hype about the future of the blockchain in the world's second-largest economy.

Cryptocurrency Stocks

Meanwhile, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (Nasdaq: AMD) announced plans to introduce a new software driver that has been developed for the purposes of cryptocurrency mining.

In a statement, the company said that Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition Beta for Blockchain Compute is a beta-level driver that can improve GPU performance for cryptocurrency miners.

Despite the announcement, shares of AMD stock fell 3% on the day.
