In 2024, ahead of the partnership, Webull
was in talks with South Korean regulators to secure approval for offering
services directly to local retail investors. According to Financial Supervisory
Service officials, the move could make Webull the first foreign company
to enter South Korea’s retail stock trading market. The FSS provided guidance
on regulatory and approval requirements.
