We have a 24-month cooling-off period in our transfer policy where a recently received allocation may not be transferred further. I am not sure that I would agree that this is a «short or medium term» (as it says in the linked-to specification) investment horizon, when we're talking about IPv4. I believe this cooling-off period in itself works as a deterrence against some that would otherwise be interested in engaging in speculation, at least the short-term kind.
I'm not sure why you think this will act as a deterrent to resource transfers, given that we all generally agree that increasing bureaucratic load will generally only serve to push transfer agreements underground. Nick
