Keywords: Congressional investigation, security risks, regulatory concerns
1. On October 7, 2026, relevant committees of the U.S. House of Representatives alleged that Webull has structural connections in areas such as ownership, technology infrastructure, data routing, and compliance, considering it a national security risk. This has raised concerns about its U.S. operations and regulatory status.
2. On October 7, 2026, major U.S. stock indices opened weaker, and both Robinhood and Interactive Brokers saw declines as well, but their drops were significantly less than that of Webull. This indicates that while the market and online brokerage sector weakness put some pressure on share prices, the main selling pressure on Webull stemmed from the specific investigation news about the company.
