Haven't kept up with how it's totally turning out, but do see that it not going back to what it was in 2021. Not sure it matters, DWAC/DJT scam is grifting enough to make up for any of that. Posted some of this in a discussion a while back on another board;
.....Twenty or so years ago you'd have a ten year period with less than 20 SPACs, generally increasing over the years. In a five year period 2016-2020 there was around 400, then 2021 they starting printing them out like no tomorrow to over 600 for that year alone. Didn't matter what they were selling or what the fundamentals were, a convincing story and a pump job combined with some heavy manipulation and SPAC meme they will go with a big take for the sponsors.
2022 comes around and the SEC comes in proposes some new rules cracking down on all that, which they are still hashing out, but it did subdue the SPAC's down a bit. Less than a 100 in 2022 and pretty slow this year. Amongst a whole lot of other things SEC proposed enhanced and additional disclosures regarding a list of things including disclosures on conflicts of interest, dilution, and the SPAC sponsors themselves.
But the stickiest is the liability clauses. One of the main reasons for the shut down, the underwriters and banks put a moratorium on the SPAC money.
The SEC proposal if fully implemented, the de-SPAC target company would be deemed a co-registrant alongside the SPAC, thereby making it an issuer and its executive officers and directors subject to liability under US securities laws. Along with that the underwriters would carry potential liability with the sponsor or company making claims that usually are not realized.

....not sure how watered down everything is going to end up, but I have seen a change in the filings and disclosures and the "carefulness" pushing out SPAC's. In time, we'll have to see what effects any rules will have, but I do believe we'll be in a better and/or different environment for the SPAC business. At least a slower one and maybe more focus on what they're selling and how they're selling......
Still believe that an orderly SPAC system can be used for some situations, only hope that the criminals grifting off of this one will get their comeuppance at some point, but have my doubts. Crime seems to pay in their world. All I can do is get my cut. Took my cut on the way up, taking my cut on the way down. A little slimy, but I'll get over it. lol
