Webull has launched its brokerage in Italy, giving Italian investors access to US options alongside US and European stocks and European ETFs.
MoneyTurkey Derivatives Desk | 11 November 2026
Key points
- Webull announced the Italian launch on Tuesday, 10 November.
- Italian clients can trade US and European equities, European ETFs and US options on its mobile and desktop platforms.
- Italy is Webull’s fourth active EU market, after the Netherlands, Germany and Spain.
What happened
Webull Corporation, the Nasdaq-listed digital broker based in St. Petersburg, Florida, said on Tuesday that it had opened its brokerage services to Italian investors, according to its announcement and reports by TradeInformer, Finance Magnates and FOW. MarketScreener Italia also reported the launch for Italian readers.
The Italian business runs through Webull Securities (Europe) B.V. in Amsterdam, which holds an investment firm licence from the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) and passports its services across the European Economic Area under MiFID II, the EU’s markets rulebook. Webull EU opened in the Netherlands in September 2025.
Why options traders care
The headline product for derivatives traders is US-listed options, which retail investors in much of Europe have struggled to reach through local apps. Italian clients must switch on options trading separately after opening an account, according to Finance Magnates, which also said Webull’s European help centre lists Portugal as the next market, with no launch date given.
Webull did not give contract specifications or margin terms for Italian accounts in its announcement. The launch adds to competition for Italian retail traders, a market where several European online brokers already offer US stocks.
What to watch
- Whether Webull publishes margin rates and options eligibility rules for Italian accounts
- A launch date for Portugal, its next listed EU market
- Any statement from Italy’s market regulator Consob on the new service
