Use Volatility In Your Favor With Robinhood Options Trading In April, Volatility Index VIX Hit Highest Mark
–News Direct–
By Meg Flippin, Benzinga
Thanks to their large upside potential, many seasoned traders choose to trade options to play the markets. Fintechs like Robinhood have made accessing the market easier for seasoned traders to fine-tune their strategies, building based on their trading level.
With inflation remaining stubborn, the markets appearing to be waiting for the Federal Reserves next move on interest rates and the U.S. about to enter what is expected to be a polarizing presidential election, volatility has been high. In April, the VIX Index which Wall Street uses to gauge volatility in the market hit its highest level since late October 2023, when the Israel-Hamas conflict began. Year-to-date, the VIX Index is up more than 12%.
Options Abound With Options Trading
While volatility may scare buy-and-hold investors, for active options traders, some look at it as an opportunity. After all, with options trading, investors can engage in a variety of diverse strategies that have the potential to work in all sorts of market conditions, whether it's speculating stocks will go up or down based on their bearish and bullish outlooks. Options are also cheaper than buying shares outright, creating leverage, which means the gains on your investment could be amplified as can losses. However, options expire, and you can lose your entire investment in a short period of time. Some strategies present a potential for substantial or even unlimited losses.
Then there are the hedging capabilities that come with options, which can help mitigate the dangers of high-risk, high-reward instruments. If an investor is worried a stock is going to fall they can purchase puts that enable them to sell the stock at a strike price, regardless of where the stock falls prior to expiration of the option. The same cant be said of stocks. If shares tank, you dont have any downward protection other than to sell and limit your losses. However, if the stock goes up or doesnt move prior to expiration, the option will expire worthless and the loss is equal to the premium paid.
Leveling The Playing Field For Options Investors
Accessing options trading is getting even easier thanks to Robinhoods trading platform. Not only do customers get access to options but also advanced charts, including the ability to track and modify technical indicators such as moving average, relative strength index and moving average convergence divergence. Furthermore, there are no contract fees.*
Other powerful features of Robinhoods platform include the ability to save and monitor options contracts to see hypothetical returns and options rolling in which you can seamlessly adjust and extend your positions. And lets not forget 24-hour support. If you have a question on your option strategy even in the wee hours of the morning, Robinhood has you covered.
Even retirement accounts and cash account holders can trade options with Robinhood. The same cant be said of some of Robinhoods rivals.
Robinhoods efforts to improve access are not surprising. For some time now, the company has been on a mission to level the playing field when it comes to investing by providing access to an array of investment and retirement products, keeping costs down and commissions at zero (other fees apply). Take Robinhood Gold for one example. Gold subscribers get 5% APY on uninvested cash in their brokerage account, a 1% boost on brokerage transfers and instant deposits.
None of this is lost on options traders, which is why that part of Robinhoods business is growing, and options traders are taking note. Robinhood is making moves to grow its market share even more. We want to be number one in the active trader market. So active traders are very important for us, Robinhood CEO Vladimir Tenev said in a recent interview. They care about very specific things like performance, pricing, user experience. And we're making lots of investments there both in the user experience and in new product innovations that other competitors don't offer, 24-hour market being a great example there.
Options trading is growing in popularity as regular retail investors learn its virtues. Robinhood wants to be a leader in the space and is pulling out all the stops to achieve that.

*There are no contract fees charged directly by Robinhood. However Robinhood does pass through certain fees charged by securities regulators and exchanges.
Commission-free trading of stocks, ETFs and options refers to $0 commissions for Robinhood Financial self-directed individual cash or margin brokerage accounts that trade U.S. listed securities and certain OTC securities electronically. Keep in mind, other fees such, Gold subscription fees, wire transfer fees, and paper statement fees may apply to your brokerage account. Please see Robinhood Financial's Fee Schedule to learn more.
Options trading entails significant risk and is not appropriate for all customers. Customers must read and understand the Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options before engaging in any options trading strategies. Options transactions are often complex and may involve the potential of losing the entire investment in a relatively short period of time. Certain complex options strategies carry additional risk, including the potential for losses that may exceed the original investment amount.
Robinhood Financial does not guarantee favorable investment outcomes. The past performance of a security or financial product does not guarantee future results or returns. Customers should consider their investment objectives and risks carefully before investing in options. Because of the importance of tax considerations to all options transactions, the customer considering options should consult their tax advisor as to how taxes affect the outcome of each options strategy. Supporting documentation for any claims, if applicable, will be furnished upon request.
Rolling options does not ensure a profit or guarantee against a loss. An investor may also end up compounding their losses. By rolling out, the duration is extended, which can also increase risks as there's more time for the underlying security's price to move unfavorably.
One of the key downsides of options vs stocks is that options contracts expire over time. For puts, If the stock price is at or above the strike price, the option expires worthless, and you can lose the money you paid for the options contract.
Risk of VIX options:
The prices of VIX options can fluctuate significantly and thus increase the risk for investors.
The VIX is a synthetic value that is calculated on the basis of option prices. Investors who invest in VIX options should therefore be aware of the special features of this asset class.
In some market situations, the VIX and thus also the prices of VIX options may not move in the expected direction. This means that in some cases VIX options may not help to reduce the risk of a portfolio, but rather increase it.
VIX options generally have a term of only a few months and are therefore more suitable for short-term trading.

Wybac Holding Expands Global Footprint with Strategic AI Infrastructure Push and UAE Presence
Dubai-based Croatian entrepreneur Filip Jurisic, a member of the holding’s board, leads the group’s representation across the United Arab Emirates as Wybac signals new investment ambitions in the region.
Wybac Holding, an internationally active investment and technology group, is positioning itself for a new phase of growth, anchored by an aggressive expansion into advanced artificial intelligence infrastructure and a strengthened presence in the Middle East. The holding has confirmed that it is preparing a significant new round of investments aimed at scaling its AI capabilities, expanding its data center footprint, and deepening its commercial relationships in the United Arab Emirates.
The announcement builds on a wider strategic shift inside the group, which earlier this year disclosed a USD 150 million commitment to proprietary AI infrastructure and custom silicon development. With that program already underway, leadership is now turning its attention to international expansion, with the UAE identified as one of the holding’s most important growth markets.
About Wybac Holding
Wybac Holding operates as a diversified group with interests across technology, infrastructure, and innovation-driven sectors. The holding has built its reputation on long-term capital deployment, disciplined operational management, and a willingness to back emerging technologies before they reach mainstream adoption. Over the past several years, the group has integrated artificial intelligence across multiple internal and product-facing initiatives, ranging from automation and predictive modeling to advanced data analytics and customer experience platforms.
The holding’s current strategy is built around three pillars: developing proprietary AI infrastructure rather than relying solely on third-party cloud providers; partnering with emerging semiconductor startups to access custom-designed AI accelerators; and expanding into high-growth international markets where regulatory clarity, capital availability, and talent density support next-generation technology businesses. The UAE, and Dubai in particular, sits at the intersection of all three priorities.
Filip Jurisic: The Holding’s Representative in the UAE
Anchoring Wybac Holding’s presence in the region is Filip Jurisic, a Croatian national and Dubai-based entrepreneur who serves as a member of the holding’s board. Jurisic acts as the group’s official representative in the United Arab Emirates, where he is responsible for overseeing local partnerships, regulatory engagement, and the development of new commercial opportunities on behalf of the holding.
Jurisic brings to the role a combination of entrepreneurial experience and an established network that bridges European and Gulf business communities. His Croatian roots, combined with years of operating from Dubai, give him a distinctive cross-regional perspective — one that the holding views as a strategic asset as it deepens ties between its international operations and the UAE market. His mandate covers identifying strategic partners, supporting the holding’s local market entry initiatives, and ensuring that Wybac’s regional activities align with both the group’s long-term strategy and the UAE’s national priorities around innovation, digital infrastructure, and economic diversification.
“The UAE has positioned itself as one of the most forward-looking jurisdictions in the world when it comes to artificial intelligence, advanced infrastructure, and international capital flows,” Jurisic noted in connection with the holding’s regional plans. “Our role here is to make sure Wybac is not just present in the market, but genuinely contributing to it — through investment, partnerships, and the kind of long-term commitment this region rewards.”
A New Investment Cycle
According to the holding, Wybac is actively preparing a new investment program targeting opportunities in the region. While full details are expected to be disclosed in the coming months, the group has indicated that the planned investments will focus on areas closely aligned with its broader strategy: artificial intelligence infrastructure, custom silicon and specialized hardware, advanced data center capacity, and select technology-enabled businesses with regional or global scaling potential.
The decision to channel new capital through the UAE reflects both the strength of the local ecosystem and the holding’s confidence in the region’s long-term trajectory. Dubai and Abu Dhabi have emerged as significant hubs for AI, semiconductor design partnerships, and large-scale digital infrastructure, supported by sovereign-backed initiatives, a deep pool of international talent, and an increasingly sophisticated private capital market.
By combining its proprietary infrastructure strategy with a dedicated regional presence led by Jurisic, Wybac Holding aims to convert its global capabilities into tangible local impact — supporting innovation, creating commercial partnerships, and contributing to the UAE’s continued evolution as a center of advanced technology investment.
Looking Ahead
Wybac Holding’s expansion comes at a moment when artificial intelligence, custom hardware, and dedicated data infrastructure are reshaping how enterprises compete on a global scale. The group’s combination of capital strength, technical ambition, and a board-level representative on the ground in Dubai gives it a structural advantage in pursuing the next generation of opportunities in the region.
With the new investment cycle taking shape and Filip Jurisic leading the holding’s UAE engagement, Wybac is signaling that its Middle East presence is not a tactical move, but a long-term strategic commitment. Further announcements regarding specific investment vehicles, partnerships, and infrastructure projects are expected in the months ahead.

See current asking prices and recent sold data across major secondary marketplaces in one view. Spot trends, identify deals, and avoid overpaying.

8. The Promo Code Database
A regularly updated, community-verified list of working discount codes for brands and retailers. No expired codes. No clickbait coupon sites.

10. Side-by-Side Watch Comparison

Every feature on WatchPolice.com is available at no cost. The platform is independent, community-driven, and built specifically for the people making and collecting watches today — including the rapidly growing microbrand scene that often gets overlooked by larger industry tools.
