Acorns Grow Inc., the popular spare-change investing and checking account app, and Pioneer Merger Corp. are canceling their $2.2 billion blank-check deal for the app to go public. 

The deal was canceled due to market conditions, and the startup now plans to raise funding and pursue a traditional initial public offering, according to Acorns Chief Executive Officer Noah Kerner.
