Nico Cappelluti (University of Miami), Gьnther Hasinger (ESA Science Director) and Priyamvada Natarajan (Yale University), suggest that black holes existed since the beginning of the Universe and that these primordial black holes could themselves be the as-of-yet unexplained dark matter. The new study is accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal.

“Our study shows that without introducing new particles or new physics, we can solve mysteries of modern cosmology from the nature of dark matter itself to the origin of super-massive black holes,” says Nico Cappelluti.
In short, they are saying that and exotic form of matter called dark matter does not exist … because it’s already been acknowledged (by none other than Ethan Seigel:

According to this model, the Universe would be filled with black holes all over. Stars would start to form around these clumps of ‘dark matter’, creating solar systems and galaxies over billions of years. If the first stars indeed formed around primordial black holes, they would exist earlier in the Universe than is expected by the ‘standard’ model.
This statement will only confuse the masses because these scientists are saying are actually saying there is no such thing as “dark matter”, as they've envisioned for decades and decades. What they are now saying is that there are ubiquitous black holes … FORMED BY NORMAL MATTER AT THE BEGINNING OF THE UNIVERSE. That's a very important distinction and concession.
