In January 2025, the average prices for IPv4 subnets across APNIC, ARIN, and RIPE continued their upward trajectory, driven by the strengthening of the US Dollar against the Euro (EUR). The exchange rate moved slightly from 1 EUR = 1.04 USD in December to 1 EUR = 1.02 USD in January, further pushing prices up across various subnet sizes.
- RIPE Region:
- The /24-/22 range remained steady at 33 EUR/IP.
- The /21-/20 and /19-/18 ranges stayed at 34 EUR.
- The /17 range was no longer priced, indicating a potential shift in demand or a reduction in available larger blocks.
- ARIN Region:
- The /24-/22 range increased from 32 EUR to 33 EUR.
- The /21-/20 range remained steady at 32 EUR, while the /19-/18 range stayed at 34 EUR.
- APNIC Region:
- The /24-/22 range increased from 27 EUR to 28 EUR per IPv4 address.
- The /21-/20 range remained at 28 EUR, while the /19-/18 range stayed at 30 EUR per IP.
This rise in prices across the board can be attributed to a combination of factors, but the stronger USD played a key role in making IPv4 addresses more expensive in EUR terms. The impact of currency fluctuations remains an important factor to consider in the global IPv4 market.
