APNIC's statistics now list it as 'available'; reissue not confirmed
APNIC's statistics show it reserved on 2026-10-21 and available on 2026-10-22. APNIC moved it from its reserved (held) records to the status it calls 'available'. The tracker saw it removed from registration on 2025-10-20, 366 days earlier. That is APNIC's own label: whether and when it is reissued is not confirmed.

Hold estimate
Estimated hold end 2026-10-20. Possible reissue candidate after this date; not confirmed available.
Removed from active registration. The tracker found it by comparing APNIC's daily statistics. APNIC's statistics show it allocated (dated 2024-06-27) on 2025-10-20 and reserved on 2025-10-21. Public sources do not distinguish a voluntary return, revocation, or reclamation. APNIC publishes no hold period, but its statistics have released returned IPv4 space a year after the removal or later since 2014, so the tracker estimates the hold ends on 2026-10-20. That is what APNIC has done, not a rule it states. This does not confirm availability.

Likely issued from APNIC-controlled inventory
No transfer record matches. APNIC's statistics show it available on 2024-06-27 and allocated (dated 2024-06-27) on 2024-06-28. The tracker saw this range released from hold on 2020-07-10 (160.25.0.0/16), so it appears to have been issued again from APNIC's pool.
