Use Volatility In Your Favor With Robinhood Options Trading In April, Volatility Index VIX Hit Highest Mark

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.

If you are interested in trading options and want to do so at a low cost with all the support you need, then check out Robinhoods offering here.

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.

Thailand ONEE Group Study Tour Successfully Held, Cultural Entertainment × Web3 × RWA Enter New Phase of Industrialization.

Thailand ONEE Group Study Tour Successfully Held, Cultural Entertainment × Web3 × RWA Enter New Phase of Industrialization

Bangkok, Thailand — As the global digital economy accelerates and Web3 enters a critical phase of deep restructuring and compliance, the ONEE GROUP THAILAND STUDY TOUR (Thailand ONEE Group Study Tour) was recently successfully held in Bangkok. The event brought together prominent guests and key contributors from blockchain, digital assets, entertainment, capital, and infrastructure sectors. They engaged in systematic discussions on global trends, RWA compliance pathways, digital transformation in the entertainment industry, and content assetization practices. This marked a significant milestone in transitioning Web3’s entertainment sector from conceptual discourse to industrial implementation.

 

At the event’s opening, Mr.Huo Yuhui, Vice President of the Hong Kong Blockchain Association, delivered a keynote speech titled’ Global Blockchain Industry Trends and RWA Compliance Pathways’.

The presentation delved into the practical necessity and compliance pathways for RWA assets to be on-chain, examining three key dimensions: the global regulatory environment, technological evolution, and industry cycles. By integrating entertainment content and the global expansion of short-form dramas, it systematically addressed the industry’s most pressing question:’ Why now?’

This sharing session established a clear industry benchmark for the study tour, while providing robust theoretical and policy support for the digital transformation of cultural and entertainment assets.

Subsequently, Vasily Medvedev, representative of ONEE Group, unveiled the group’s strategic development plan with great fanfare.

The presentation comprehensively showcases ONEE’s long-term expertise in physical entertainment content, production systems, and commercialization capabilities. It explicitly states that content constitutes the most fundamental asset in the entertainment industry and serves as the core value source for RWA’s digitalization.

ONEE will leverage authentic content assets as its foundation, driving the cultural and entertainment industry’s transition from’ traffic-driven logic ‘to’ asset-driven logic’ through synergistic integration of technology, institutional frameworks, and ecosystem development, thereby establishing a sustainable, verifiable, and scalable new paradigm for cultural and entertainment RWA.

On the topic of asset circulation and value realization, CoinQ Exchange COO Tiger delivered a keynote speech titled ‘Empowering the Global Circulation of Premium Digital Assets’.

From the perspectives of trading infrastructure, compliance mechanisms, and global market synergy, he elaborated how trading platforms provide liquidity support and value discovery mechanisms for high-quality content assets, offering critical support for the international circulation of entertainment RWA. This segment is regarded as the pivotal bridge connecting the transition of entertainment assets from ‘ownership confirmation’ to ‘monetization and circulation’.

The tour study session culminated in its most symbolic highlight—the production launch ceremony for the 10 short plays by ONEE Group.

Vasily Medvedev, representative of ONEE Group, joined the director and six leading actors to launch the project on stage. The grand screen’s opening sequence and ceremonial installations brought the atmosphere to a climax. This ceremony not only marked the official start of content production but also signified the birth of ten entertainment RWA assets, each grounded in authentic creative foundations, commercial potential, and future revenue prospects.

These short-form drama projects will serve as digital asset models with verifiable ownership, blockchain integration, and profit-sharing mechanisms, marking the entertainment industry’s official entry into a new era where’ content is capital.’

At the roundtable session of the Global Web3 Cultural and Entertainment Industry Digital Transformation Summit Forum, industry leaders, technical experts, and platform representatives engaged in in-depth discussions on content value, technological evolution, compliance boundaries, and business models.

The convergence of multidimensional perspectives has yielded actionable and replicable references for the digital transformation of the entertainment industry, while further cementing ONEE’s industry leadership in the RWA (Real-World Application) sector.

During the event, an award ceremony was held simultaneously to recognize outstanding market and community leaders from China and overseas.

As stated in the award citation: “These honors are not only an affirmation of achievements, but also a crowning of the pioneers of consensus.”

Their active participation and concrete actions have propelled the digital transformation of cultural and entertainment assets from concept to reality. The successful execution of the ONEE GROUP THAILAND STUDY TOUR signifies ONEE Group’s pivotal leap from trend consensus to industrial practice in the Web3 cultural & entertainment × RWA domain. Going forward, ONEE will continue to prioritize authentic content, uphold regulatory compliance, harness technological innovation, and amplify through ecosystem synergy, steering the cultural and entertainment industry toward a new era of self-driven assets, verifiable value, and sustainable returns.
