What's behind BIP-110 opposition? Follow the money. Table at bottom 👇

IMHO, the primary reason for opposition to BIP-110 is hundreds of millions of dollars behind dozens of companies currently (or planning on) exploiting SegWit and Taproot (and potentially OP_RETURN if they choose).

This is a lot of money introducing a ton of malincentives ... folks focused not on immutable money, but a bunch of non-bitcoin related stuff. Hundreds of Dapps, Bapps, Smart Contracts, RWAs, Ordinals, Tokens, etc.. It's also heavily burdening nodes with ~ 40% block space and UTXO bloat. All this seriously threatens decentralization which puts bitcoin's immutability at risk.

Most of these companies started in 2023, right after the first exploitation of SegWit/Taproot, Ordinals Inscriptions. Many are VC-backed.

This info is pulled using Grok ... multiple prompts to extract the following:

Companies and Projects Directly Negatively Impacted by BIP-110 Activation

Bitcoin ecosystem players reliant on inscriptions, arbitrary data embedding, Taproot script patterns, or L1 data postings targeted by BIP-110's restrictions (as of March 10, 2026). Sorted by Smart Contract platforms first, then Ordinal Inscriptions/BRC-20 projects.

I'm sure there are some inaccuracies in here (e.g., Magic Eden recently pulled the plug on Bitcoin support). But I think it's directionally correct.

It's going to take a concerted effort from the plebs to combat this.
