Webull Partners with Solidus Labs to Power Next-Generation Trade Surveillance

Key Terms

trade surveillance financial

Trade surveillance is the ongoing monitoring of buying and selling activity in financial markets to spot suspicious patterns such as market manipulation, insider trading, errors or rule breaches. It matters to investors because it helps keep prices fair and markets orderly—like security cameras or smoke detectors for trading—reducing the chance that fraud or mistakes will distort values, trigger fines, or harm returns.

digital asset financial

A digital asset is a representation of value or rights that exists only in electronic form—like digital versions of cash, stocks, or collectibles kept in a virtual wallet. They are transferred and recorded using computer systems that make copying or tampering difficult, and can include currencies, tokenized shares, or unique digital items. Investors care because digital assets can offer new ways to diversify, trade and raise capital, but they also bring different risks around price swings, custody and regulation.

on- and off-chain technical

On-chain describes transactions or data recorded directly on a blockchain’s public ledger, where entries are permanent, transparent and verifiable by anyone; off-chain refers to activity handled outside that ledger, such as private databases, payment channels or traditional bank systems. Investors care because on-chain activity offers stronger transparency and immutable proof but can be slower and costlier, while off-chain solutions can be faster and cheaper yet introduce counterparty, custody and audit risks—similar to the difference between a public registry and a private notebook.

osint technical

Open-source intelligence (OSINT) is the practice of collecting and analyzing information that is publicly available—such as news reports, regulatory filings, social media posts, industry blogs, and satellite images—to build a clearer picture of a company’s operations, market position, or risks. For investors, OSINT is useful for fact-checking claims, spotting early trends or red flags, and supplementing formal disclosures, like putting together a puzzle from pieces anyone can find but few have organized.

market integrity financial

Market integrity is the set of rules, controls and behaviors that keep financial markets fair, transparent and reliable so prices reflect real supply and demand. Like a referee and clear rulebook in a game, it prevents cheating, fraud and manipulation, helping investors trust that trades and quoted prices are honest and that their money is not being unfairly disadvantaged.

tradfi financial

Short for “traditional finance,” tradfi describes the established banking and capital markets system—banks, brokerages, stock exchanges, payment networks and the rules that govern them. Investors watch tradfi because it sets the baseline for safety, regulation, and liquidity: think of it as the paved highway of finance, where transactions are overseen by institutions and laws, making risks, costs and access different from newer alternatives like cryptocurrencies.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Webull (NASDAQ: BULL), an online investment platform, and Solidus Labs, the gold standard for crypto-native trade surveillance and risk monitoring, today announced a partnership to power Webull’s digital asset trade surveillance in the United States and Canada. Expansion is planned in markets where Webull offers digital asset trading.

As Webull continues its rapid expansion serving more than 26 million registered users globally, the partnership ensures its dedicated digital asset ecosystem is protected by the industry’s most advanced detection technology. Known for bringing institutional-grade technical sophistication to the retail trading market, Webull will leverage Solidus Labs’ HALO platform to provide the level of rigorous oversight expected by its high-fidelity, high-volume trading base.

"Protecting our users and meeting the highest compliance standards are core priorities for Webull Pay as we scale our offering across North America and beyond," said Damarizz Medina, Chief Compliance Officer at Webull Pay, Webull’s digital asset service provider in the U.S. "Solidus Labs emerged as the ideal partner for us due to their expertise in trade surveillance and deep understanding of the digital asset landscape. Their on- and off-chain detection technology, coupled with a retail-first compliance hub, ensures our community can invest with confidence."

Built from the ground up to ensure robust coverage of modern financial markets, Solidus HALO introduces a paradigm shift in surveillance detection. Webull will utilize HALO’s multidimensional data approach—layering user behavior, social sentiment, and OSINT data on top of traditional trade and order flow. By correlating these inputs across both on-chain and off-chain data, HALO provides Webull with institutional-grade market integrity at machine-speed precision.

"Webull is a titan of the retail brokerage space, and their commitment to safe, regulated growth is a blueprint for the industry," said Asaf Meir, Founder and CEO of Solidus Labs. "A charging bull requires not just power, but a clear field of vision. We are proud to provide the compliance intelligence layer that serves as that vision, safeguarding Webull Pay's ecosystem and ensuring that innovation and integrity go hand-in-hand as they redefine the retail investing experience globally."

The partnership marks a significant milestone as more traditional finance (TradFi) firms expand into the digital asset space, highlighting the growing trust in Solidus Labs’ capabilities to secure the financial markets of tomorrow.
