The market for IPv4 addresses continues to exhibit stability, albeit at significantly lower prices than in previous peak periods. Data from IPv4.Global by Hilco Streambank suggests that while there is a notable spread in pricing - often reaching a 30% difference between high and low valuations - the overall trend points to a subdued yet steady marketplace.
The market for IPv4 addresses continues to show resilience, with January 2025 figures indicating a modest uptick in pricing across several block sizes. Data from IPv4.Global by Hilco Streambank reveals that while average prices hovered in the low-to-mid $30s per address, the actual range of transactions was significantly broader, spanning from $28 to $48 per address. This highlights the persistent pricing variability driven by block size, buyer urgency, and negotiation dynamics.

In the digital age, where every device, from smartphones to fridges, connects to the Internet, the topic of IP addresses becomes increasingly relevant. An IP address, a unique identifier for devices on the Internet, has seen its fair share of evolution from IPv4 to IPv6. Yet, the question lingers: Are unused IPv4 addresses a hidden treasure?
Predicting rational behavior on the part of market participants invites two problems into the resulting projections. First, people almost always include some element of irrational thinking in their decisions. Second, no predictor can know every variable -- even only the rational ones -- or weigh those they know with perfect accuracy.
