RIPE, via a LIR, but it doesn’t matter, because ASNs are end-user resources. IP space is all PA though.

The /32 I’m renting however.

Ah the dollar sign made me think you were in ARIN, and they used to charge $550 for new ASNs

You can get an ASN and IP space from RIPE (or a RIPE LIR) even if you’re in ARIN area geographically.

All you need is proof of network presence within RIPE region (and yes, a $5/mo BGP VPS from Vultr satisfies that requirement). Then you can announce your RIPE v6 wherever you want.
