According to Dean Little (@deanmlittle) on Twitter, Bitcoin developers are repurposing opcodes, a technical change that could affect network security and smart contract functionality. This move may alter on-chain transaction processing and impact trading strategies for Bitcoin and related cryptocurrencies. Traders should closely monitor upcoming protocol updates, as opcode modifications could introduce new risks or opportunities for arbitrage and automated trading, per the referenced tweet and discussion (source: https://twitter.com/deanmlittle/status/1929422653984575709).
