IPv4 /22 Block Price in 2026
A /22 block contains 1,024 IPv4 addresses and remains one of the most traded block sizes on the secondary market. In 2026, demand from cloud providers, AI infrastructure operators, and regional ISPs keeps prices elevated across all RIR regions.
Current Market Prices
| Region | Price Range per IP | Total /22 Range |
|---|---|---|
| RIPE NCC | $38 - $52 | $38,900 - $53,200 |
| ARIN | $40 - $55 | $40,960 - $56,300 |
| APNIC | $35 - $50 | $35,800 - $51,200 |
These are indicative ranges. Actual transaction prices depend on block history, utilization, and routing reputation.
Price Trend 2022-2026
Between 2022 and 2024 prices plateaued after the rapid climb of 2020-2021. In 2025 and into 2026, AI-driven infrastructure expansion reignited demand, particularly for clean, well-routed RIPE and ARIN space. Year-over-year growth for /22 blocks has been in the range of 5-12% depending on region and block quality.
What Affects IPv4 /22 Price
Block size - /22 is a standard routing unit. Most transit providers and IXPs accept /22 as the minimum announcement prefix, which gives it strong liquidity compared to smaller blocks.
Region - ARIN space commands a slight premium due to US cloud and data center demand. RIPE NCC space is most liquid in Europe. APNIC prices are somewhat lower but rising due to Asia-Pacific growth.
Utilization history - A block with documented historical use and clean WHOIS records sells faster and at a better price than one with a gap in usage history or unclear ownership chain.
Routing history - Blocks that have never appeared on spam or abuse blacklists carry a measurable premium. Buyers increasingly request BGP history reports before committing.
Price Difference: RIPE vs ARIN vs APNIC
ARIN /22 blocks typically trade at a 5-10% premium over RIPE space, driven by US market demand. RIPE NCC space benefits from high liquidity and a well-established transfer market under RIPE policy. APNIC space can offer value for buyers operating primarily in Asia-Pacific but may require additional due diligence on routing reputation.
