VIX-related ETFs offer asymmetric return potential, especially with current volatility levels well below historical averages, making long-VIX trades attractive now.

VXX: A Behind The Scenes Look Inside The Volatility Index ETN

The iPath Series B S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Future ETN offers retail investors exposure to S&P 500 volatility via front-month VIX futures. Due to the negative roll effect in contango markets, VXX is unsuitable for buy-and-hold strategies and best used for short-term hedging or trading. As an ETN, VXX carries additional credit risk tied to Barclays' solvency, unlike ETFs, which are bankruptcy remote.
