Webull Corp ( BULL ) shares are trading lower Monday after the company announced a $1 billion standby equity agreement.

What To Know: Webull ( BULL ) on Thursday announced the securing of a financing option with YA II PN, an investment fund managed by Yorkville Advisors, through a standby equity purchase agreement.

"As we survey the evolving market landscape and consider next-generation technologies in the space such as stable coins and real-world asset tokenization, access to capital will be critical to our ability to innovate and compete on the cutting edge going forward."

How To Buy BULL Stock

Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share – or fractional share – of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument.

For example, in Webull's ( BULL ) case, it is in the Financials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
