The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank caused significant setbacks in tech company budgets and could further deepen the recession. A downturn in IPv4 transfer requests suggests a decreased demand due to these grim economic conditions. However, this presents a good opportunity to buy IPv4 addresses at discounted prices as they continue to be vital for network expansion.

The IPv4 address transfer market started out on a positive note in January 2023. As in any market, there are ebbs and flows in demand which affects pricing. We just so happen to analyze an extremely unique industry that caters to a rare commodity that has a valuable use case in the global economy.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a surge in demand and prices for IPv4 addresses. However, in 2022, a dip in demand led to market stabilization and a decrease in prices. Future price hikes are expected.

Network Address Translation (NAT) and Carrier Grade Network Address Translation (CGNAT) are two different techniques for managing networks, but both have similar goals: to conserve public IPv4 addresses, increase privacy and security, and reduce the burden on ISPs of having to manage too many Internet of Things devices.

This year, the IPv4 Transfer Market has proven to become more volatile with each new month, seemingly mimicking trends of the global roller-coaster stock market. Large cloud companies, hosting providers and Internet service providers are continuing to purchase vast amounts of IPv4 address blocks from large enterprises. In turn, this is causing one-off /17 and /16 IPv4 subnets from other suppliers to sit in the market longer than usual, causing prices to stabilize and ultimately decrease. How does this affect the rest of the market?

The six years leading into 2022 have painted a picture of a continuous bull market in the IPv4 industry.  Prices for IPv4 address blocks had an average increase of around 25% every year due to limited availability and increased demand. However, this year has proven that even the IPv4 market can’t always be resilient to economic conditions. 

What are BGP Routing Records? Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a protocol that allows for the fastest and most efficient routing of internet traffic.   The owner of an IPv4 Address subnet asks their upstream internet service provider to route specific IPv4 subnets now smaller than a /24 to route traffic using the best method of delivery.  BGP is responsible for assessing all of the available internet routes that data can travel and then choose the best option, which usually means hopping between Autonomous Systems (AS) numbers that represent the upstream internet providers network.
