IPv4 has long stopped being a simple technical identifier system. It has become a constrained, priced, and operationally embedded infrastructure asset class. “In the IPv4 market, execution is not paperwork. Execution is continuity under registry-layer uncertainty.”https://heng.lu/on-why-i-lease-exists-and-why-the-broker-question-is-really-a-registry-risk-question/ Yet most of the industry still speaks about it as if it were a straightforward marketplace problem: buyers, sellers, brokers, escrow, transfer, done. That framing is increasingly outdated. The real structure of riskRead more
