IPv4s have been bought and sold for years https://auctions.ipv4.global/prior-sales Prices have been going down in nonimal terms for years, let alone real terms. In terms of investment they're a terrible asset. | ||

IPv6 and CGNAT growth has finally started to suppress IPv4 prices. There was a huge pump when hyperscalers decided they needed more. But IPv6 keeps growing and is the majority of traffic in many networks. If you own significantly more IPv4 addresses today than you need, I would dump them on the market yesterday. Spend some of the profits to move to IPv6 if still needed. | ||

nice. I wish I could buy an address instead of renting from aws... | ||

It seems like the addresses cost about $20 each, and can be rented out for ~$5/year. That doesn't seem terrible. | ||
