How to Buy or Sell IPv4 - Fast and Secure Transfer Brokerage with DCXV
If you have been thinking about buying or selling IPv4 addresses, now is the time to act. The IPv4 market is entering a phase of growing demand, and prices per IP address are trending upward for smaller blocks. Waiting longer could mean paying more. At DCXV, we make the entire process fast, transparent, and secure.
Why It Is Easier Than You Think
Many companies hesitate to enter the IPv4 market because they expect a long and complicated process. The reality is different. When you work with DCXV, the only things you actually wait for are:
- Escrow setup - typically 1-3 days to secure funds
- RIR processing - RIPE NCC, ARIN, or APNIC review and approve the transfer
- Bank wire transfer - standard processing time for your bank
Everything else is handled by our transfer agents who work almost 24/7. We prepare all documents, coordinate between buyer and seller, communicate with the RIR, and make sure everything stays on track and without delays. Most intra-RIR transfers are completed within 3-10 business days from start to finish. For inter-RIR transfers (between different registries), the process may take longer due to additional coordination between registries.
We have successfully completed numerous inter-RIR transfers across all major directions and have the expertise to do it faster than most brokerage companies:
- RIPE ↔ ARIN
- RIPE ↔ APNIC
- RIPE ↔ LACNIC
- ARIN ↔ APNIC
- ARIN ↔ LACNIC
- APNIC ↔ LACNIC

Smaller blocks command higher per-IP prices due to strong demand from businesses that need just a /24 or /23 for their operations. Larger blocks offer better per-IP rates but require significantly higher total investment.
Why Buy Now
The market for small and medium IPv4 blocks is heating up. More businesses are entering the market as cloud infrastructure, IoT deployments, and AI workloads continue to grow. This steady demand is pushing prices for /24 through /20 blocks upward.
Additionally, RIPE NCC is planning to introduce a transfer fee of 350 EUR per transfer - both for incoming and outgoing transfers. This means that both buyers and sellers will face an extra cost on top of the deal itself. If you are planning to buy or sell IPv4 addresses, completing your transfer before this fee takes effect will save you money. Act now while transfers are still fee-free.
Selling Your IPv4 Block
If you hold unused IPv4 addresses, this is an excellent time to sell. Market demand is strong, and DCXV handles the entire process for you. We verify all documentation, find qualified buyers, manage the escrow process, and coordinate with the RIR. You receive your payment securely and quickly.
