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.

OpenDroids Beats 1X’s Neo in Real-World Dishwashing Test — at Twice the Speed and a Fraction of the Funding

Published

1 hour ago

on

November 22, 2025

By

San Francisco, CA – Nov, 2025 – OpenDroids, a robotics startup focused on practical home and workplace automation, today announced that its humanoid robot has completed a full dishwasher-loading task roughly twice as fast as 1X Technologies’ Neo robot, despite operating on around 1/100 of the capital raised by its better-funded competitor.

In a recent side-by-side kitchen demonstration, OpenDroids’ robot and Neo were each tasked with loading a standard dishwasher with dishes from a countertop and sink. Under comparable conditions, the OpenDroids unit finished the job in approximately half the time, showcasing what the company calls “capital-efficient automation” doing more with dramatically less money.

“Everyone talks about billion-dollar robots. We wanted to prove you don’t need a billion dollars to get real work done,” said Jack Jesionowski, Founder at OpenDroids. “With about one-hundredth of Neo’s funding, our robot loaded the dishwasher twice as fast. It’s not just a flex, it’s proof that scrappy engineering and tight focus can beat raw capital.”

Proving That Speed and Scrappiness Still Matter

While much of the industry is focused on glossy demos and mega-rounds, OpenDroids intentionally chose a boring, unavoidable household chore, doing the dishes, to illustrate a bigger point:

  • Real task, real environment – No lab tricks. A standard kitchen, real dishes, and a common home appliance.
  • Direct comparison – Same core task: identify dishes, grasp them, and load them into the appropriate racks.
  • Capital efficiency – OpenDroids claims to have spent 1/100 of Neo’s funding and still delivered faster real-world performance in this test.

“We respect what teams like 1X are building. But this demo shows something important,” added Sebastian Paredes, CMO of OpenDroids. “The future won’t be won just by whoever raises the biggest round. It’ll be won by whoever can turn every dollar into actual, repeatable tasks in the real world.”

More With Less: A Different Robotics Playbook

Instead of chasing sci-fi perfection, OpenDroids is focused on nailing a narrow set of high-frequency tasks that matter most to households and businesses: cleaning, organizing, and basic handling.

The dishwasher demo is the first in a series of public benchmarks the company plans to release, all centered around one idea: “Show, don’t tell.”

  • Task-first, not hype-first – Every demo is chosen around economic value: chores people hate, time businesses can’t afford to waste.
  • Capital discipline – Lean teams, smaller budgets, and faster iteration cycles.
  • Execution over aesthetics – If it gets the job done faster and reliably, it wins.

Rex Vet Inc. Launches Nationwide Low-Cost Veterinary Telehealth Initiative to Address Rising Pet Care Inequities

Published

1 hour ago

on

November 22, 2025

By

San Francisco, CA — USA — Rex Vet Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on making veterinary care accessible for all families, today announced a nationwide expansion of its low-cost telehealth initiative aimed at tackling a growing crisis in pet healthcare affordability. At a time when veterinary costs are climbing at more than twice the rate of general inflation, Rexvet is introducing virtual care plans starting at just $10 per month, positioning itself as one of the most accessible veterinary support systems in the country.

The nonprofit’s announcement comes as U.S. pet owners increasingly face rising barriers to traditional care, including high clinic fees, limited appointment availability, and regional shortages of licensed veterinarians. Rexvet’s expansion is designed to directly address these disparities using telehealth, allowing pet owners to connect with licensed professionals 24 hours a day through secure video consultations, messaging, and digital triage.

Leading the initiative is Dr. Tiffany Delacruz, DVM, Rexvet’s CEO, whose work has been featured in  Many Reputable Websites. Dr. Delacruz emphasized that the organization’s focus is not on replacing traditional veterinary medicine, but on ensuring that no family is left without guidance during a health concern. “We are witnessing a nationwide gap in care access,” she said. “For many families, veterinary telehealth is no longer a convenience—it’s a lifeline. Our mission is to ensure that every pet, regardless of household income or location, receives timely and compassionate medical support.”

Rexvet currently serves more than 1,000 pet families, maintains a 4.9 out of 5 satisfaction rating, and continues to expand its network of licensed veterinarians across multiple states. As part of its expanded initiative, Rex Vet Inc. is rolling out three core telehealth pillars:

(1) Vet Matching Through Verified Profiles
Pet owners can browse detailed profiles of licensed veterinarians, review credentials, and evaluate authentic feedback from fellow pet parents. This system allows families to find the “right fit” for ongoing care, a challenge often overlooked in traditional clinical environments.

(2) 24/7 Expert Medical Support
Rexvet’s around-the-clock virtual availability aims to reduce emergency room overcrowding by providing first-line triage and professional guidance. Whether dealing with sudden symptoms, medication questions, or behavioral concerns, users can access trusted medical advice from home—potentially reducing unnecessary ER visits.

(3) Online Prescription Services via RexRx
Through its integrated prescription platform, RexRx, families can request and fill medications digitally, with options for doorstep delivery or local pharmacy pickup. This feature is particularly valuable for seniors, low-income households, and rural residents with limited access to veterinary pharmacies.

Rex Vet Inc. holds a Candid Transparency Seal and was recognized as a Top Rated Non-Profit for 2025 by GreatNonprofits. As a legally registered 501(c)(3) organization (Tax ID: 33-2469898), Rexvet publishes impact data, service metrics, and financial transparency reports to strengthen public trust.

According to Johnny Dominguez, spokesperson for Rex Vet Inc., the national expansion reflects a long-term commitment to systemic change. “The veterinary industry is undergoing rapid transformation,” Dominguez said. “Millions of families are unable to access essential care due to rising costs and limited veterinary availability. Our telehealth expansion provides an immediate, scalable solution to help close this gap.”

Rex Vet Inc. continues to call on donors, veterinary professionals, and corporate partners to support its mission of delivering humane, accessible, and tech-driven care to families across the United States.

About Rex Vet Inc.

Rex Vet Inc. is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to making veterinary care accessible, affordable, and equitable for all pet families. Founded with a mission to ensure that no pet goes without medical support, Rexvet provides low-cost telehealth appointments, 24/7 veterinary consultations, and online prescriptions through its secure digital platform. The organization partners with licensed veterinarians nationwide to deliver high-quality guidance to families facing financial, geographic, or mobility-related barriers to traditional care. Recognized with the Candid Transparency Seal and named a Top Rated Non-Profit for 2025, Rex Vet Inc. continues to serve communities with compassion, innovation, and a commitment to transparency.
