As of January 2021, the Pentagon assigned 450 Million IPv4 addresses to a new and “unknown” Florida based company named Global Resource Systems, LLC. According to ARIN, it is important to note that this is not a permanent transfer. Nevertheless, this came as a bit of a shock to the internet community.

So far 2021 has started with a hockey stick demand curve for IPv4 addresses. If you look at the numbers, the ARIN pre-approval requests have increased 10% over the previous quarter, and a whopping +30% over Q1 of 2020. In fact, Q1 of 2021 has indicated the largest requests for ARIN pre-approval of all time with a 584 in total.
With the end of a roller coaster of a year, 2020 had some interesting movement in the IPv4 sector as well. Due to the increased demand for people to stat indoors, we saw a surge of requests to buy ip addresses shortly after the pandemic hit.
In March of 2020, there was a deal made between APNIC and Jun Murai A.K.A. the Internet Samurai to split the ownership rights of 43.0.0.0/8. They started the Asia Pacific Internet Development Trust, which was owned equally by APNIC and Murai’s WIDE Project.
