Maybe not that much more. At some point the demand for ipv4 addresses is going to wither as ipv6 adaptation grows. 10 years ago we were at <1% ipv6 adaptation, now we're at 40%. Give it another decade and I can imagine someone like google or apple sunsetting ipv4 support completely and after that ipv4 addresses aren't going to be worth much anymore.
