Webull (BULL) is making its first move into private markets, announcing a new solution that lets eligible accredited investors buy into late-stage private companies through special purpose vehicles directly on its platform.
Webull Corporation Class A Ordinary Shares, BULL
The company is partnering with Monark Markets, with SPVs sponsored by Monark Capital Management LLC. Monark’s private markets infrastructure handles the sourcing and structuring of each deal.
BULL stock was trading down around 3% on Tuesday.
The model is built around demand signals. Accredited investors on the platform can flag interest in specific private companies. When enough interest builds up, Monark sources an opportunity and an SPV is created. Each vehicle is capped at 99 eligible investors.
Every SPV is structured to give exposure to one company only. There’s no diversification within a single vehicle — it’s a direct, focused bet on one late-stage name. Subscription and funding all run through the Webull app.
Anthony Denier, Group President and U.S. CEO of Webull, said private markets have “become an increasingly important part of how companies create value,” but access has historically been locked to institutional players and high-net-worth individuals.
“This launch reflects our continued effort to broaden access for eligible investors by connecting them with private market opportunities in a structured way, directly within the Webull platform,” Denier said.
Ben Haber, CEO of Monark Markets, described the tie-up as advancing the “convergence of private markets and traditional brokerage.”
To access SPVs, users need to qualify as accredited investors and meet Webull’s eligibility requirements. The indications of interest are non-binding — flagging a company doesn’t commit an investor to anything.
Webull says SPVs are coming soon to all qualifying users. The latest version of the app must be downloaded from the App Store to access the feature.
Webull is clear that these are high-risk investments. Private securities are speculative, and investors could lose their entire investment. The company flags illiquidity, limited reporting rights, valuation uncertainty, concentration risk, potential dilution, and fees as key risks.
There is no public trading market for these investments, and transfer restrictions apply. These aren’t products for the average retail investor — they’re built for those who can absorb a total loss.
The launch marks a clear strategic push by Webull to move beyond traditional public securities. It follows growing retail demand for access to high-growth private companies before they go public.
SPVs are rolling out to all qualifying Webull users imminently.
