SPAC DEAL TERMINATIONS (Last 10 Days)
2026-04-08: Dynamix Corp. (NASDAQ: DYNX) + The Ether Reserve, LLC

Dynamix Corp. (NASDAQ: DYNX) and crypto-treasury firm The Ether Machine have mutually terminated their planned $1.6 billion merger, citing “unfavorable market conditions” as the primary driver for the deal’s collapse. Under the terms of the withdrawal effective April 8, an unnamed payor associated with the target must deliver a $50 million termination fee to Dynamix within 15 days. The payment provides a significant cash cushion for the blank-check firm, which currently carries a market capitalization of roughly $232 million, as it pivots to find a new acquisition target.

The cancellation marks a setback for what was slated to be one of the largest crypto-related public debuts, featuring a $1.5 billion PIPE financing commitment. While the deal’s dissolution voids associated subscription and support agreements, Dynamix’s leadership now faces a ticking clock; the special purpose acquisition company has until November 22, 2026, to finalize an alternative business combination.
