That's essentially the leading theory. They're called WIMPs.

If this new primordial black hole theory works out, then doesn't that mean that MACHOs beat WIMPs once again?

These theories aren't necessarily at odds with one another. Could very well be a combination of both MACHOs & WIMPs among other things...

I would guess that Axions are currently the leading candidate.
