From an RIR perhaps, but when demand changes for your available pool,
what happens downstream?

When you rent servers from providers, unless you bring your
own address space, the invoice includes the cost of one or more IPv4
addresses, often with the option to rent additional IPv4 addresses on a
per month basis.  Just this week I received notice of a $2/VM
price increase from one provider.  They stated "demand for IP
address has caused a shortage and increased prices".
