Summary
DRW Investments (UK)
finance business enterprise
A trading firm on 1,024 addresses, held across three jurisdictions and one transit provider's block.
What it's used for
- The network of a proprietary trading firm's UK arm. 1,024 addresses across three IPv4 prefixes, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- The inventory is
45.95.92.0/23,45.95.95.0/24and149.14.21.0/24. - Netnames are
IL-DRWISRAEL-20190709,DRW-INFRASTRUCTUREandCOGENT-149-14-16. - The
IL-block is registered to the firm's Israeli entity; the third is registered to a transit provider. - Nine addresses were sampled and none returned a name.
Interesting
- Three blocks, three different holders, one AS: a UK company announcing space registered to its Israeli sibling alongside a block belonging to its transit provider. Trading firms open offices wherever the exchanges are, and the address records follow the corporate structure rather than the network.
COGENT-149-14-16is provider-assigned space, still named and held by the provider. Announcing it from your own AS is ordinary, and it also means those addresses do not travel if the provider is dropped. Mixing owned and borrowed space in one AS is a decision about which parts of the network need to be portable.- 1,024 addresses is tiny and the firm still runs its own autonomous system. For latency-sensitive trading the AS exists to control routing, not to hold addresses, and the interesting engineering is in paths that a public routing table never shows.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-19, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-20. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
