IPO Roundup: Wetouch Technology, Amphitrite Digital, and more (Pending:SUBL)

The U.S. IPO market is slowly reviving after a two-year pause that has been attributed to an aggressive tightening cycle by the Federal Reserve and geopolitical uncertainty.

The Renaissance IPO ETF (NYSEARCA:IPO) is still down nearly 2% YTD, trailing the S&P 500, which recently topped the 5,000-point milestone and has gained at least 5.4% during the same period.
