Abstract:Webull debuts in Europe with AFM approval in the Netherlands, offering retail investors access to EU and U.S. equities through its mobile trading app.
Amsterdam, September 2025 — Webull Corp (NASDAQ: BULL) has officially entered the European trading landscape with the launch of its first brokerage services in the Netherlands. The debut marks Webulls expansion into the EU financial markets following regulatory approval from the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM).
Operating through its Dutch subsidiary, Webull Securities (Europe) B.V., the company now provides investors with access to U.S. and European equities, European exchange-traded funds (ETFs), fractional shares trading, and U.S. options. The platform also grants users extended trading hours and competitive pricing via its mobile trading app.
The Netherlands was chosen as Webull EUs initial base, with plans to roll out services across additional European markets in the coming months. This move places Webull among the growing list of online brokerage services seeking to capture the increasing demand for accessible digital investment tools among retail investors in Europe.
Webull EU Chief Executive Officer Andries van Luijk highlighted the shift in investor behavior across the continent. “The investment landscape has evolved significantly over the past decade. The European public is increasingly seeking low-cost and accessible investment opportunities, both within their own countries and across international markets,” said van Luijk. He emphasized that Webulls global infrastructure and innovative approach aim to empower retail traders through advanced tools, real-time market data, and educational resources.
Anthony Denier, Group President and U.S. CEO of Webull, reinforced the company‘s growth vision. He noted that the Webull Europe launch demonstrates a commitment to broadening international access and expanding the firm’s already established presence across 14 global markets.
Securing authorization from the AFM in September 2024 was a critical step in enabling Webull to operate legally within Dutch financial markets. This regulatory approval is expected to enhance the platform‘s credibility among European investors, given the AFM’s strict oversight of financial services within the Netherlands.
Beyond compliance, Webull has positioned itself as a trusted provider by competing with established European online trading platforms. Retail investors in Europe can now download the Webull EU app via both the Apple App Store and Google Play, granting them seamless access to global trading opportunities.
Webull is among a new wave of global neobrokers transforming investment accessibility through intuitive digital platforms. With over 24 million registered users worldwide, the company continues to push into new markets where demand for fractional share trading and mobile-based stock investment is accelerating.
