Webull shares drop 18% amid US lawmakers' national security concerns over China ties

US lawmakers report that Webull, a digital brokerage with 28 million users, has structural ties to the Chinese government, posing a national security risk. The House Select Committee on China found that Webull's data flows may be exposed to Chinese Communist Party demands, despite the company marketing itself as American-based. Following the report, Webull shares fell 18%. Webull defends its operations, stating US customer data is stored domestically and denies the report's claims. The committee's concerns grew after Webull began holding customer cash directly in 2025, exposing billions in American capital. Founded by a former Alibaba executive, Webull operates globally with branches in the US, Singapore, and China, raising questions about compliance with Chinese laws.
