Rob Armstrong: 我认为今年SPAC的复苏非常奇怪,尤其是在当前市场环境下。虽然SPAC在2021年非常火爆,但今年初的上市数量并不多。我好奇是什么原因导致了这种复苏,以及投资者应该如何看待这种现象。 Aidan Ryder: 我认为SPAC的复苏与首次公开募股(IPO)和监管环境密切相关。SPAC之所以存在,是因为它比传统的IPO更容易操作。此外,特朗普政府对SPAC的态度也较为积极,这使得SPAC再次受到市场的关注。我观察到许多SPAC都计划收购加密货币公司,这反映了当前市场对加密资产的兴趣。 Matthew Feeney: 我认为SPAC对投资者的吸引力在于其提供的收益率。SPAC会将募集到的资金投资于短期国债等安全资产,并将收益返还给投资者。这使得SPAC成为一种相对安全的投资选择,尤其是在市场风险较高的情况下。当然,投资者也需要注意SPAC的价格波动风险。 Adam Chapnick: 我认为投资者需要警惕SPAC的风险。大多数SPAC在上市后都会下跌,而在完成收购后,其价值往往会进一步下降。因此,投资者在投资SPAC时需要谨慎评估其风险,并做好承担损失的准备。

This chapter discusses the resurgence of SPACs (Special Purpose Acquisition Companies) in 2025. It explores the reasons behind this comeback, focusing on regulatory changes under the SEC and the overall market sentiment.
  • SPACs, shell companies raising money to acquire other businesses, experienced a boom in 2021 and then declined.
  • The resurgence in 2025 is linked to changes in SEC regulations and a more favorable political climate.
  • Gary Gensler's stricter regulations on SPACs contributed to their decline, while a shift in regulatory sentiment is now fueling their comeback.
