Webull Launches Operations in Japan

Webull Corporation (Webull), the owner of the leading retail brokerage platform Webull Financial LLC, continues expanding its global presence, having launched operations in Japan. The firm has introduced a local version of the Webull app in the country via its Japanese unit Webull Securities (Japan) Co. Ltd (Webull Japan).

Initially, Webull Japan will offer Japanese customers access to US stocks and ETFs, and look to provide Japanese securities in mid-2023 as well as US Options and Chinese and Hong Kong S.A.R. securities later this year.

"Interest in investing and asset management is increasing in Japan, especially in US stocks, due in large part to recessionary concerns and low interest rates. Webull provides a unique and easy-to-use format that we believe is an innovative and attractive solution to both experienced investors and new investors alike,” commented Wataru Kojima, CEO of Webull Japan.

The latest expansion follows Webull’s introduction of its retail brokerage services in Australia late 2022​.

"We are delighted to be launching in Japan, the largest market in Asia-Pacific, following our successful launches in Singapore and Australia last year. We are confident that our ability to provide a highly convenient mobile trading tool and stock trading environment with the industry's lowest commissions will be highly attractive to investors in Japan. Webull's entry into Japan marks another step in Webull's mission to help investors around the world ‘Enjoy Tech. Enjoy Investing,’” said Bernard Teo, Head of Asia-Pacific at Webull.
