COINOTAG News, citing official sources, reports that Binance will conduct a system upgrade and a UTF-8 encoding test on its spot trading platform on December 17. The update targets encoding reliability and overall platform stability for live markets.

Binance clarifies that this upgrade will not affect spot trading or any related functions, and participants should not expect changes to order routing or liquidity. The initiative focuses on backend enhancements while preserving continuous access to core market services.

During the UTF-8 test phase, users may encounter test tokens and test trading pairs as part of routine validation. The note also warns that any on-chain tokens with identical or similar names are not officially supported, and readers should reference official listings.
