Blank check companies have many qualities of an investment mania. With a cleanup, SPACs could shed their shady image, writes TheRealLSL.

The Defiance NextGen SPAC Derived ETF started trading under the ticker symbol “SPAK” on Oct. 1. The exchange-traded fund will track shares of companies that listed by merging with special purpose acquisition companies, as well as shares of blank check companies that haven’t yet found a target.
