Webull Expands Into Europe with Retail Investment Platform in the Netherlands
Webull expands into Europe with Retail Investment Platform in the Netherlands, establishing a European foothold by launching brokerage services in Amsterdam through its Dutch subsidiary, Webull Securities (Europe) B.V. This marks the first step in the platform’s broader EU rollout.
A Strategic Gateway to the European Union
After obtaining authorization from the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) in September 2024, Webull officially opened its European operations in Amsterdam. The move enables Dutch retail investors of all experience levels to trade a wide range of assets: European and U.S.-listed equities, fractional shares, European ETFs, and U.S. options.
Clients also benefit from real-time market news, industry data, educational materials, and advanced trading tools through an intuitive mobile app. To sweeten the deal, extended trading hours and competitive pricing strengthen Webull’s appeal as a tech-savvy brokerage option.
Why the Netherlands and Why Now?
-
Trusted financial hub: Amsterdam’s robust regulatory framework and tech-driven ecosystem made it an ideal launchpad for Webull’s EU journey.
-
Investor appetite: European investors increasingly demand affordable, efficient access to global markets. Webull’s global network allows this to happen smoothly.
“Our aim is to deliver a superior trading experience and empower clients with advanced tools to make informed decisions,” said Andries van Luijk, CEO of Webull EU.
Anthony Denier, Group President & U.S. CEO, added that this expansion underscores Webull’s mission to make investing more accessible globally.
What It Means for Investors and the Industry
-
Expanded access: Dutch investors now gain low-cost entry to both local and global markets through a platform known for innovation.
-
Heightened competition: Webull enters a space already occupied by Trade Republic, eToro, and DEGIRO, but brings strong tech capabilities like fractional shares and extended hours.
-
Roadmap to Europe: With this launch, additional EU countries are on Webull EU’s radar for upcoming expansions.
What to Watch Next
Analysts anticipate Germany, France, and Spain as likely targets for Webull’s next moves. Meanwhile, its already strong features like advanced charting tools, educational content, and low-cost trading—position it well for success across Europe.
