What’s the Biggest Regulatory Challenge Facing SPACs Today?
In this episode of The SPAC Podcast, legal scholar Daniele D’Alvia joins Michael Blankenship to break down one of the most pressing topics in the market today: regulation. Daniele explains that the biggest regulatory issue SPACs now face is ensuring proper disclosure and investor protection.
He walks through how new SEC rules have shifted SPACs closer to traditional IPO standards—particularly around due diligence, projections, and sponsor incentives. These reforms aim to close gaps that once allowed for lower disclosure thresholds, helping ensure that SPAC participants are held to more consistent accountability and transparency standards. For legal, financial, and IR professionals, this conversation offers an essential view into the regulatory direction of SPACs.
