NOTE 1 — DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Organization

 

Webull Corporation (“Webull” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we”, or “us”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability in September 2019, and its corporate headquarters is located in St. Petersburg, Florida.

 

Business Overview

 

We operate a digital investment platform built upon a next-generation, global infrastructure. Our investment platform provides customers with extensive features and functions that go beyond what is offered by most retail investment platforms in the market today. Our platform allows retail investors worldwide to trade securities through our licensed broker dealer subsidiaries located in various parts of the world, including the United States (“US”), Canada, the United Kingdom (“UK”), Australia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, South Africa, and the Netherlands.

 

In the US, which is our principal market, Webull Financial LLC, our US broker dealer subsidiary, utilizes a clearing organization to handle the clearing of the security transactions of our account holders. Most of our customer accounts were cleared on an omnibus basis with our clearing organization during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

 

We generally refer to our platform users throughout our condensed consolidated financial statements as customers. However, most of our platform users do not meet the definition of a customer under ASC 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers. As particularly discussed in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Principles – Revenue Recognition, our customers from which we earn and receive revenue are the following: (i) market makers who execute our platform users’ trading orders and pay us a rebate, (ii) platform users who pay us index option fees, large order option fees, future contract commissions, fixed income execution fees, or subscription fees to our Webull Premium service and (iii) our international platform users who pay trading commissions.
