What happened?

On October 7, 2026, the bipartisan House Select Committee on China issued a report which found "a profound gap" between Webull's public marketing as "an American company" and actual control of the alleged St. Petersburg, Florida-based firm. The committee reportedly found "Webull's ownership architecture, technical workforce, technology infrastructure, cross-border data routing, corporate financing, and compliance frameworks are tied in structural ways to the People's Republic of China." The Select Committee also reportedly found that Webull initially told the Select Committee that it had no offices or employees in China, while Webull's mainland China subsidiary in fact employed approximately 863 employees, or 62% of Webull's global workforce.

Webull Corporation stock fell $1.39 or 19.09%, to close at $5.89 on October 7, 2026, thereby injuring investors.

What is the Webull Corporation lawsuit about?

The Webull Corporation securities lawsuit alleges that, between April 26, 2025 and October 6, 2026, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material adverse facts about Webull Corporation's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, the complaint alleges defendants failed to disclose that: (1) Webull's mainland China operations were not limited to research and development and technical support functions, but rather Webull's software development, data pipelines, and core engineering depended on PRC-based personnel and on infrastructure subject to Chinese law; (2) Webull's ownership structure, technical workforce, technology infrastructure, cross-border data routing, financing, and compliance structure were structurally tied to China; (3) as a result, Webull's representations that its principal business operations were based in the U.S. and that its U.S. customer data was insulated from non-U.S. access materially overstated Webull's independence from the PRC; and (4) as a result, defendants' positive statements about Webull Corporation's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

"According to the complaint filed against Webull Corporation, the Company, among other things, did not disclose that Webull's mainland China operations were not limited to research and development and technical support functions, but rather Webull's software development, data pipelines, and core engineering depended on PRC-based personnel and on infrastructure subject to Chinese law. The December 7, 2026 deadline is a key date for Webull Corporation investors who want a voice in how this case moves forward," said Frank R. Cruz of The Law Offices of Frank R. Cruz.
