Webull

Webull Corporation launched on May 24, 2017, as a technology-driven financial services holding company with legal headquarters in St. Petersburg, Florida. The firm emerged to democratize access to professional-grade trading instruments for individual investors, operating primarily as a commission-free brokerage that generates revenue through payment for order flow and interest on uninvested cash balances. While early corporate filings sometimes listed New York City as the primary base, current records confirm the operational hub remains in Florida alongside significant offices in Manhattan.

The platform distinguishes itself from basic retail apps by offering advanced charting capabilities, Level 2 market data, and extended trading hours that appeal to active traders and tech-savvy investors. Qiang Lu serves as both Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, leading a team rooted in the Dayu Technology group which originally developed the software infrastructure. The company went public via a SPAC merger in late 2022, beginning trades under the ticker symbol BULL on the NASDAQ exchange.

Recent strategic moves highlight Webull's focus on global expansion and regulatory compliance. In August 2026, the firm announced an expanded partnership with Coinbase to bring cryptocurrency trading and custody services to Canadian users, leveraging Coinbase's existing regulatory framework to meet local laws. Financial reports from the second quarter of 2026 indicate continued growth in user accounts and asset volume, maintaining a positive analyst consensus rating of Moderate Buy as of August 31, 2026.
