NxGen Brands, Inc. (OTC: NXGB), a branding and digital asset innovator, announced it is extending the initial decentralized exchange listing window for its CAND Candy Crew Token on PancakeSwap through the Presidents’ Day holiday weekend, ending February 16, 2026. The decision comes in response to broader macroeconomic volatility following the release of U.S. CPI data, with management believing the adjustment supports improved liquidity conditions, expanded community participation, and a more stable market backdrop for launch.
The CAND Token was originally scheduled to begin its PancakeSwap listing phase at 10:00 a.m. EST on Friday, February 13, 2026. The extension allows the Company to optimize market conditions and ensure a successful debut. 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.
According to the Company, CAND is being developed as a core digital utility designed to integrate branded intellectual property, community engagement, and future platform activations tied to its confectionery and experiential strategies. The launch is a defining moment for NxGen and the Candy Crew ecosystem, as it aims to connect physical products, branded experiences, and digital communities through emerging technologies.
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 and encourages participants to rely solely on verified links and announcements.
NxGen Brands 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. Additional information and community updates are available at CandyCrew.mobirisesite.com and @candtoken on Twitter.
The announcement highlights NxGen’s broader strategy of integrating physical and digital consumer experiences. Management’s decision to extend the listing window reflects a disciplined approach to execution, prioritizing strong liquidity support and long-term ecosystem development over a rushed launch amid uncertain market conditions. The extension through the holiday weekend is expected to allow both the community and broader crypto markets to participate under more favorable conditions.
