NxGen Brands, Inc. (OTC: NXGB) announced that it is extending the initial decentralized exchange listing window for its CAND Candy Crew Token on PancakeSwap through the Presidents’ Day holiday weekend, February 16, 2026. The extension comes in response to broader macroeconomic volatility following the release of U.S. CPI data, allowing for improved liquidity conditions and expanded community participation.
The CAND Token was originally scheduled to begin its PancakeSwap listing phase at 10:00 a.m. EST on Friday, February 13, 2026. However, the Company elected to delay the launch to ensure a more stable market backdrop. 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, the CAND Token is being developed as a core digital utility designed to integrate branded intellectual property, community engagement, and future platform activations tied to its evolving confectionery and experiential strategies. The launch is seen as a defining moment for NxGen and the Candy Crew ecosystem. Management emphasized that extending the window through the holiday weekend allows both the community and the broader crypto markets to participate under more favorable conditions, with a focus on 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; Contract Address: 0xCe68994BEbfa378eE62A9a3194cf48C80095798d. The Company will provide updated timing and participation details across its official communication channels.

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.
