Out of curiosity: are IPv6 addresses some kind of wild west, unclaimed territory?

When trying to look up who owns some of them that I see in my server logs, I frequently run into "the big void" it seems.

For example: 2200:2242:2064:246::42:6

ipinfo.io says... no ASN, no hostname, no nuffin' available.

Similarly, IP Netblocks says it's part of the range :: - ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff (no shit!πŸ˜‚) and that's all.

Can anyone shed some light on this?
