IPv4 (Internet Protocol Version 4) is a 32-bit addressing system that provides unique numerical identifiers for devices on a network. With IPv4 address exhaustion, a secondary resale market has emerged, where organizations buy and sell unused addresses to meet ongoing demand, while IPv6 adoption gradually replaces IPv4 for scalability.

Roller Coaster IPv4 Market – November 2022

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?

ARIN IPv4 Transfers January 2022

The “New IPv4 Norm” – IPv4 Transfers January 2022

2022 begins with a market stabilization, albeit much lower than just 1 year ago.  ARIN’s IPv4 transfer requests for the month of January was 132 (as demonstrated by the dark blue bar graph below), which is still down -30% since the IPv4 crash in May of 2021.  More importantly, transfer requests are still down -20% compared to the average of the last 3 years. It looks like the IPv4 transfer market has established the "New IPv4 Norm" as it relates to the demand on a monthly basis.  So what does that mean for prices moving forward?
