Today, on TechCrunch\u2019s Equity (https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/podcasts\/equity\/<\/a>) podcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec, Max Zeff and Anthony Ha are unpacking the week\u2019s news, including the possible return of the SPAC in an uncertain IPO market. It\u2019s a curious moment for a public debut, as Kirsten points out, especially after so much chatter that 2025 would be the big comeback year for blockbuster IPOs, but some major players like Klarna and StubHub have already hit pause. And as investor Mark Goldberg (https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/podcast\/weve-entered-an-era-of-fintech-maximalism-according-to-mark-goldberg\/<\/a>) put it on this week\u2019s show, folks holding their breath for a fintech IPO wave this year \u201care going to be blue in the face.\u201d<\/p>\n
