Webull adds CME nano futures to lineup of investment instruments
Webull Corporation (NASDAQ:BULL) announced that eligible customers will have access to CME Group’s E-nano S&P 500 and E-nano Nasdaq-100 futures, expanding its futures offering with smaller-sized contracts. These contracts allow retail investors to manage exposure to major U.S. equity indexes in more precise increments, with lower notional exposure and potentially lower margin requirements. The addition is part of Webull's commitment to evolving with investor needs, according to company executive
