Webull Canada has officially launched options trading, providing its clients with powerful new tools to diversify investments and hedge against market risk. This new feature enables users to leverage market fluctuations more effectively, generating potential income through speculation and risk management, even during volatile periods.
Michael Constantino, CEO of Webull Canada, said: “Options have been one of the most requested offerings from our users, and I’m incredibly proud of our team’s dedication in bringing it to life. With an array of powerful tools and competitive low fees, this product meets the needs of our users in today’s dynamic market, empowering them to achieve their financial goals even during periods of volatility.”
Since its launch in January 2024, Webull Canada has quickly grown, providing users access to both Canadian and US-listed equities through its award-winning app. Regulated by CIRO and a member of CIPF, Webull has become a trusted platform in the Canadian market, offering robust tools such as real-time quotes, market data, 60+ indicators, paper trading, and educational resources.
In March, Webull Canada introduced a cash management solution, offering interest on uninvested cash balances—4% CDN or 3% USD—accruing monthly with no account minimums or fees. This offering allows Canadian users to earn passive income without restrictions, further solidifying Webull’s commitment to helping investors succeed during unpredictable market conditions.
Globally, Webull serves millions of users across 180 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, and Singapore. With the recent launch of a desktop platform in Canada, users now benefit from customizable multi-screen setups and advanced analytics, enhancing their ability to make informed trading decisions.
Webull’s expansion into options trading in Canada marks a significant step in offering Canadians a broader range of investment strategies, providing both novice and experienced traders with the tools they need to navigate today’s dynamic financial landscape.
As of July 31, 2024, Webull has achieved an impressive 100% year-over-year (YoY) growth in assets under management (AUM) in the APAC region, according to a recent announcement by the US-based global discount broker.
To celebrate this success, Webull President Anthony Denier visited the company’s Asia Pacific offices, reaffirming its commitment to expanding in the region.
Building on its success in the U.S., Webull entered the APAC market in 2020, starting with Hong Kong SAR. The company later expanded into Singapore and Australia in 2022, followed by Japan and Indonesia in 2023, and most recently Malaysia and Thailand in 2024.
“We are incredibly proud of Webull’s rapid expansion in the APAC region. Since we entered APAC in 2020, we have seen a steady increase in our user base, with investors leveraging Webull’s trading tools to develop comprehensive and diversified investment portfolios across the U.S. and APAC markets. In the next two years, Webull aims to be a top broker-dealer in every region, and we remain committed to developing innovative solutions that will allow us to grow significantly while ensuring trading remains accessible and affordable for all retail investors,” said Webull President Anthony Denier.
Jonathan Man, Chief Executive Officer of Webull Singapore, commented: “Since we entered the Singapore market in 2022, we have witnessed a strong uptrend in our user base within a short two-year span. Investors in Singapore continue to seek attractive yields for their investments and Webull Singapore will strive to develop better, more innovative products and tools that will cater to the evolving needs of Singapore investors.”
Launched in the U.S. in 2018, Webull has expanded its presence to APAC, Europe, Africa, and Latin America. The platform boasts over 40 million downloads and more than 20 million registered users globally.
In 2023, Webull saw a 38% YoY growth in customer assets, reaching US$8.2 billion. The platform also recorded US$371 billion in U.S. equity notional trading volume and 430 million options contracts traded during the year. With a 98% user retention rate in Q4 2023, Webull continues to build a strong reputation for user experience and trust.
As a leading digital brokerage, Webull is expanding across 13 global markets, empowering investors in the APAC region with tools to access U.S. markets.
