NxGen Brands, Inc. (OTC: NXGB), a branding and digital asset innovator, announced an extension of the initial decentralized exchange listing window for its CAND Candy Crew Token on PancakeSwap through the Presidents' Day holiday weekend, February 16, 2026. The decision comes in response to broader macroeconomic volatility following the release of U.S. CPI data, as the Company aims to support stronger liquidity, broader participation, and long-term ecosystem growth.
The CAND Token was originally scheduled to begin its PancakeSwap listing phase at 10:00 a.m. EST on Friday, February 13, 2026. However, after the February 11 announcement outlining the next phase of launch, management elected to extend the window. This adjustment is intended to provide a more stable market backdrop and allow both the community and broader crypto markets to participate under more favorable conditions.
The PancakeSwap listing represents the first trading pair and DEX deployment for CAND, marking a significant milestone in NxGen's phased rollout of blockchain-enabled initiatives within its Candy Crew ecosystem. CAND is being developed as a core digital utility designed to integrate branded intellectual property, community engagement, and future platform activations tied to the Company's confectionery and experiential strategies.
"The launch is a defining moment for NXGB and the Candy Crew ecosystem," the Company stated. "Extending the window through the holiday weekend allows both our community and the broader crypto markets to participate under more favorable conditions. Our objective is disciplined execution, strong liquidity support, and long-term ecosystem development."
CAND Token details include: token symbol CAND, blockchain Binance Smart Chain (BSC), initial DEX PancakeSwap, and contract address 0xCe68994BEbfa378eE62A9a3194cf48C80095798d. The Company will provide updated timing and participation details across its official communication channels, urging participants to rely solely on verified links and announcements available at https://CandyCrew.mobirisesite.com and https://twitter.com/candtoken.
The CAND Token initiative aligns with NxGen's broader strategy of connecting physical products, branded experiences, and digital communities through emerging technologies. Management views this launch as the foundation for expanded digital engagement, affiliate-style rewards programs, and future blockchain-integrated consumer activations under the Candy Crew brand. This announcement follows the Company's earlier press release on February 11, 2026, and underscores NxGen's commitment to disciplined execution amid market volatility.
