Press Release
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.

Disclaimer:
*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.

Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India, 4th May 2026 — Grepix Infotech Pvt. Ltd., a leading mobile and web application development company, today announced the launch of the Grepix Global Partner Program—a structured partnership ecosystem designed to help entrepreneurs, agencies, and regional businesses launch profitable on-demand app businesses without building technology from scratch.
With a proven portfolio that includes HireMe (taxi and ride hailing), MasalaDish (food delivery), InstaResQ Roadside Assistance, GTA – GetTransportApps (logistics and transport), and a comprehensive on-demand services platform, Grepix is opening its technology infrastructure to partners across 30+ countries under six flexible, results-driven collaboration models.
The Opportunity
The global on-demand economy continues to grow at a remarkable pace. Ride hailing, food delivery, and logistics together represent a combined market opportunity exceeding USD 600 billion. Yet, thousands of entrepreneurs and regional businesses lack the technology resources to enter and compete effectively. Grepix is changing that with ready-to-deploy, fully customizable solutions backed by a decade of development experience.
“We have spent years perfecting our platforms so our partners do not have to. Our goal is to give ambitious entrepreneurs the technology backbone they need to launch fast, compete confidently, and grow profitably,” said a spokesperson from Grepix Infotech.
Six Partnership Models for Every Type of Partner
1. White Label Reseller Partner Partners receive full rights to rebrand and resell Grepix solutions entirely under their own brand. With complete customization options, dedicated technical support, and faster time to market, this model is ideal for digital agencies, IT consultants, and entrepreneurs who want to deliver premium app products to clients without heavy development investment.
2. Revenue Share Partner Partners who refer new clients to Grepix earn a competitive commission on every successful deal with no upfront investment required. Marketing collateral, sales support, and transparent tracking are all provided. This model suits business development professionals, startup mentors, and consultants with strong industry networks.
3. Co-Branding Partner Co-branding partners collaborate with Grepix to deliver joint solutions to regional markets, combining Grepix’s technology credibility with the partner’s local presence and trust. Ideal for established regional tech companies and local businesses, this model offers shared brand visibility, joint go-to-market strategies, and dedicated account management.
4. Franchise Tech Model The most comprehensive model in the program allows partners to launch their own fully branded taxi, food delivery, logistics, or on-demand service business in their city or region using Grepix’s proven technology—operational within weeks. Territory exclusivity, ongoing product upgrades, and business launch guidance make this the fastest path for entrepreneurs ready to enter the on-demand economy with confidence.
5. API Integration Partner Technology: Companies, payment providers, EV charging networks, telematics firms, and insurance platforms can integrate their services directly with Grepix’s app ecosystem. This model opens co-marketing opportunities, expands reach across active app deployments, and creates bundled revenue opportunities for both parties.
6. Referral Partner: The simplest entry point into the Grepix ecosystem. Referral partners recommend Grepix solutions to their network and earn a bonus for every successful engagement with zero technical knowledge or upfront commitment required. Ideal for business coaches, digital marketers, incubators, and accelerators.

The partner program is powered by five industry-ready platforms:

HODL.DANCE is a new decentralized memecoin launchpad on BNB Chain offering bonding curve launches, permanent liquidity locking on PancakeSwap V3, and on-chain creator rewards via the $HODL4 program. HODL.DANCE Launches First Memecoin Launchpad on BNB Chain with Permanent Liquidity Lock and Built-In Creator Rewards The platform lets anyone launch a memecoin in seconds — with liquidity locked forever and trading fees flowing back to creators and traders.
United States, 4th May 2026 – HODL.DANCE, a new decentralized memecoin launchpad built on BNB Chain (BSC), has officially launched, offering a transparent and creator-friendly alternative to existing token launch platforms. The platform combines a bonding curve pricing mechanism with permanent liquidity locking and an on-chain rewards program — a combination rarely seen in the memecoin space.
What is HODL.DANCE?
HODL.DANCE allows any user to launch a memecoin directly from their browser in just a few clicks — no coding knowledge required. Once a token is created, it trades along a bonding curve until it reaches the graduation threshold. At that point, the token graduates to PancakeSwap V3, and the liquidity is locked permanently — ensuring traders can always buy and sell without rug pull risk.
Unlike other launchpads where creators profit only from the initial launch, HODL.DANCE distributes a portion of every trading fee to token creators and active ecosystem participants through its native $HODL4 rewards program. Leftover tokens from the bonding curve are burned at graduation, making each token deflationary by design.
Built for Transparency
Every core action on HODL.DANCE happens on-chain. Token verification, fee distribution, and liquidity locking are all managed by smart contracts deployed on BSC. The platform charges a flat 1% trading fee — no hidden costs, no off-chain surprises.
Key Features:
- Launch a memecoin in seconds — no coding required
- Liquidity locked permanently on PancakeSwap V3 at graduation
- Creators earn from trading fees, not just the launch
- Unsold tokens burned at graduation — built-in deflation
- $HODL4 Rewards Program — earn by trading and participating
- On-chain verification and transparent 1% fee structure
- Smart contracts deployed on BNB Chain (BSC)
About HODL.DANCE
HODL.DANCE is a decentralized memecoin launchpad on BNB Chain. The platform was built to give memecoin creators and traders a safe, transparent, and rewarding environment to launch and trade tokens. The team believes that locked liquidity and shared revenue are the foundation of a healthier memecoin ecosystem.

Three-level model describes how systematically and effectively an organization uses AI for content creation and management
United States, 4th May 2026 — The AI Content Forum, an online venue for sharing knowledge and discussing the impact of AI on content marketing, today announced the release of the AI Content Maturity Scale. The AI Content Maturity Scale is a three-level model that describes how systematically and effectively an organization uses AI for content creation and management. The model is relevant for today’s content marketers because the predominant current practice of treating AI simply as a content production tool, rather than a strategic system, will lead to disappointing business outcomes.
“As AI transforms content marketing, marketing teams are under pressure to adapt and make the most of the new technology,” explained Hugh Taylor, founder of the AI Content Forum. “The potential is immense, but so are the challenges. Success will come to marketing organizations that can embrace the most holistic and strategic uses of AI. The AI Content Maturity Scale provides a way for marketing managers to assess how their departments are meeting this challenge.”
Presented in a paper written by Taylor, President of Taylor Communications, and Derek Little, CEO of Trailblazer Mastery, the model comprises a structured framework for understanding how well an organization is utilizing AI for marketing advantage. Its three levels describe how systematically and effectively an organization uses AI for content creation and management:
- Level 0: Production-driven AI—AI increases output, but not impact or trust.
- Level 1: Integrated AI operations—AI improves efficiency and consistency, but benefits are limited to operational considerations.
- Level 2: Decision-level AI—AI reshapes how content drives buyer evaluation and decision-making.
Each level represents a distinct stage of maturity across four key dimensions:
- Depth and breadth of AI use in content creation
- Degree of process automation and integration with marketing systems
- Extent of measurement and continuous improvement
- Consideration of AI’s impact on the customer’s business
