SPAC Daily: Wednesday, November 23

by | Nov 23, 2022

Chart of the Day

Happy (early) Thanksgiving! The SPAC market itself seems to be doing the most eating as 53 SPACs have already liquidated without a deal in 2022 and over 30 have scheduled EARLY liquidation votes.

That liquidation number is likely to remain elevated as we continue to creep closer to the great maturity wall of early 2023.
