It was a quiet news day for SPACs on Monday with the CompoSecure / DBDR deal a disappointing +0.2% up on the announcement. The mania of Merger Mondays is gone and only good deals will get rewarded. Investors may not have liked CompoSecure s aggressive growth forecasts or they may be a little scared off from crypto with Bitcoin s (modest) crash back down to the mid $50k range. Regardless, they didn t bite.

Last week was another relatively quiet week in the SPAC market with no new IPOs that s the first time in quite a while with no new supply. There were also only 3 new SPAC S-1s filed, for $350m, in another positive sign for the health of the SPAC market. Don t expect a major change in activity this week as the headwinds from the SEC and general oversupply remain in effect. But, remember, this slowdown is good news and shows the market is getting healthier.
