A year of buying VOL
Over the last 364 days VOL closed between $0.004300 (December 22, 2025) and $0.046230 (November 5, 2025). One hundred dollars put in at the low would be worth $202 today; at the high, $19. The current price $0.008700 is above 97 of those 364 daily closes, so a purchase on a random day of that stretch would be in profit 27% of the time — fees aside.
A typical day moves VOL by 0.1%: a $1,000 position swings about $1 a day.
