IPv4 Prices Drop as Large Block Supply Floods Market

A recent surge in the availability of /16 IPv4 address blocks has shaken up the secondary market, causing average sale prices for these large blocks to take a surprising nosedive. Data from InterLIR’s March 2025 report reveals that prices per IP in /16 blocks tumbled from nearly $50 back in mid-2024 to just a bit over $24 by early 2025. For buyers hunting bargains, this is a golden moment, but sellers face a complicated balancing act trying to stay profitable.

This influx of /16 blocks isn't just a ripple - it's pushing prices down across the board. Yet, smaller blocks like /20 to /21 and /22 to /24 have stayed relatively steady, floating in the $31 to $34 range over recent months. Sure, they've dipped slightly, but nothing too dramatic compared to their larger siblings. These smaller blocks remain a safer bet for sellers wanting to dodge the volatility storm rocking the big leagues.

Faced with falling prices, sellers are eyeing a crafty workaround: breaking large blocks into smaller pieces to snag slightly higher prices per address. Sounds like a neat trick, right? Well, there's a catch. Splitting up a big block doesn’t guarantee you’ll sell all the pieces quickly. The strategy demands patience and a bit of risk tolerance, since unsold chunks can linger like that one leftover sandwich in the fridge.

The current market landscape is a blend of online bids and private deals, carefully excluding LACNIC-addressed spaces and bundled negotiations. The average prices reported aim to capture the overall pulse, but don’t expect every sale to hit those marks - numbers can vary quite a bit. Plus, keep in mind prices reflect the purchase date, not the transfer date, which is a subtle but crucial detail when sizing up short-term price zigzags.

Right now, the IPv4 scene tips the scales in favor of buyers looking for a good deal. Whether that advantage sticks around depends on how fast the market absorbs this flood of extra supply-or if another batch is lurking just around the corner, ready to change the game again.
