III faces a high entry barrier because SEC SPAC rules adopted on March 6, 2024 expanded disclosure on conflicts, dilution, and target-company financials. New entrants must still clear listing rules, audited statements, and merger filings under S-4 or proxy review, while sponsors face liability for misleading disclosures. That adds legal, audit, and accounting costs before any deal closes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-green-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-box-green-section4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title-row-green-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReputation and network effects\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content-row-green-section blur_box\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReputation is the real moat in SPACs. In 2025, global SPAC IPO volume stayed far below the 2021 peak, so sponsor trust, bank ties, and target access mattered more; new teams without a track record still struggled to raise capital and source deals, which kept entry pressure low for Helix Acquisition Corp.

III. When investor appetite improves, sponsor launches rise fast; when sentiment weakens, blank-check formation can fall sharply, as the U.S. SPAC boom dropped from 613 IPOs in 2021 to a much thinner 2024-2025 flow.
