A Stable IPv4 Market

The definition of a stable financial market is a condition in which there is no major disruption of market transactions, with no significant deviation of financial asset prices from economic fundamentals, thereby enabling economic agents to raise and operate funds with confidence..  On the contrary; as wars wage on the global stage, interest rates increase, and inflation remains high – the general population tends to look for signs of market stability and healthier projections prior to spending their budgets.

The IPv4 Market experienced numerous peaks and valleys over the past 2 years, which created doubt and uncertainty across the minds of many.  Although, from January of 2023 onward, the market has demonstrated price and demand stabilization, leading to an anticipatory, strong 2024; where conditions will likely align with those which we were accustomed to from 2016 – 2020.

In October of 2023, the number of IPv4 Transfer Requests decreased to 124.  As compared to September, there was a decrease of –15%.   Furthermore, last month’s Transfer Requests are only down -7% as compared to 2022’s monthly average of 134 Transfer Requests. However, what we have found to be more significant, is that the total Transfer Requests from January through October of 2023 amounts to 1407, which is an increase of +5% year to date as compared to 1342 total Transfer Requests in 2022.

Our goal is to empower the entire Internet community with pertinent market knowledge to create an IPv4 strategy and make empowered decisions regarding upcoming IPv4 requirements.  It is during uncertain times, such as this, that we most yearn for data-driven advisory to aid us as we build a more positive future. Put your trust in our data and unbiased analysts to assist you along this journey.

BEAD Update - The Delaware Broadband Initiative
In the ever-shifting landscape of the global economy, markets can rise and fall with the flicker of a headline or the whisper of a trend. After two months of decreased demand, this market—once bruised and beleaguered—has made a remarkable resurgence. It has not only regained lost ground but is now charting a course towards renewed growth as we had experienced in the first five months of 2024. This rebound is a testament to the resilience of industries, the adaptability of businesses, and the unshakable confidence of internet community who refused to let short-term volatility define the long-term network growth requirements. Here's how this market, once thought to be on the brink, has reemerged stronger than ever. The market has bounced back to 142 transfer requests in August 2024, which is right in line with this year’s average of 143 per month. Last month’s demand indicated an increase of +12% over July and a whopping +25% over June. With even better news, the 143 average is still up +5% over the average of 2022 and 2023. The recent surge in demand coincides with Louisiana's allocation of $1.3 billion in BEAD funds, with plans to begin distribution soon. As more states consistently receive their BEAD allocations, we can anticipate further demand spikes in the upcoming months and certainly in 2025. Additionally, we’ve noticed a significant increase for larger IPv4 subnets from our client, a trend not seen during the first half of the year. August marked another record-breaking month of IPv4 sales, with 73 IPv4 transfers — a 25% increase over our 2024 monthly average of 58 transfers. Buy Pv4 September Transfers
