ARIN IPv4 Waitlist Is Moving Faster Than Ever — Here’s Why

This October 2025, the ARIN IPv4 Waitlist made its biggest jump ever — positions moved from the 900s down to the 400s in just a single quarter.
The sudden movement came after a large IPv4 reclamation, including a /15 (131k IPs) and multiple /16–/22 blocks that ARIN recovered and reissued.
It’s the first time in years the list has advanced this quickly — showing that ARIN is actively reclaiming and redistributing unused IPv4 to organizations waiting for space.
At the same time, ARIN continues to emphasize the need to transition to IPv6, since reclaimed IPv4 space can only delay full exhaustion for a short time.

nah IPv6 isnt for humans
I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.
IPv4 isn't for humans either. That's why we use domains that point to that IP.
Never make the same mistake twice. There are so many new ones to make.
It’s OK if you disagree with me. I can’t force you to be right.
