ARIN's statistics now list it as 'available'; reissue not confirmed
ARIN's statistics show it reserved on 2025-12-29 and available on 2025-12-31. ARIN took it out of its reserved (held) records; its statistics now give it the status 'available'. The tracker saw it removed from registration on 2023-09-07, 845 days earlier. That is ARIN's own label: whether and when it is reissued is not confirmed.

Possible future reissue candidate after hold
Hold estimate
Estimated hold end 2024-03-07. Possible reissue candidate after this date; not confirmed available.
Removed from active registration. ARIN-Issued didn't list this; the tracker found it by comparing ARIN's daily statistics. ARIN's statistics show it allocated (dated 2016-03-23) on 2023-09-06 and reserved on 2023-09-08. Public sources do not distinguish a voluntary return, revocation, or reclamation. ARIN holds returned, revoked and reclaimed IPv6 space for 6 calendar months before reissuing it, so the estimated hold end is 2024-03-07. This does not confirm availability.

No transfer record matches. ARIN's statistics show it available on 2016-03-22 and allocated (dated 2016-03-23) on 2016-03-24. It moved from ARIN's unissued pool to an active registration dated around the report, so it appears to be newly issued by ARIN.

RDAP lookups
Not looked up. The tracker queries RDAP for changes as they're reported (on first sight, after 24 hours and after seven days); older changes aren't looked up because today's RDAP says nothing about the past.
