What’s the Difference Between U.S. and European SPACs?

from The SPAC Podcast: Special Purpose Acquisition Company · host Joshua Wilson

In this episode of The SPAC Podcast, Michael Blankenship asks legal scholar Daniele D’Alvia a provocative question: are European SPACs more trustworthy than those in the U.S.?Daniele explains that the answer isn’t found in geography but in governance. While U.S. markets are often at the forefront of financial innovation and carry a higher risk appetite, European markets tend to be more risk-averse and disclosure-focused. Ultimately, what matters most in SPAC credibility is not the jurisdiction, but the sponsor’s track record, governance framework, and transparency with investors. This episode offers a global perspective on SPAC trust and market behavior.👉 Learn more at TheSPACPodcast.com#SPACs #GlobalMarkets #Governance #InvestorTrust #SPACPodcast #DisclosureStandards #DanieleDAlviaDisclaimer: Michael J.
