Avenue4 and Hilco Streambank have posted their 2018 state of the IPv4 transfer market reports. A couple of comments I found of note in their report.
- The average trade price for blocks <4k IPv4 address was approximately $20/IPv4 address
- The average trade price for blocks >4k IPv4 address was approximately $17.50/IPv4 address
- Avenue4’s data shows the number of IPv4 market transactions starting to flatten at about 80 transactions per quarter
- The majority of addresses being traded is coming from legacy /8 blocks, additionally we are now seeing some of the largest telecoms selling their excess IPv4 supply
- Hilco also collaborates the increasing prices for IPv4 resources, their auction website provides detailed pricing for most transactions
