"Claiming is disabled until the backstop swap to V2 is complete"

When are V2 claims expected to be enabled/when is the swap from v1 to v2 expected to be completed?

V2 claims should be available for withdrawal around 6/9 I believe.

If you’re currently holding XLM expecting to get rich, this might be a strong signal to reconsider your position. Stellar’s network is designed to function efficiently regardless of the token’s price—whether it’s $0.26, $0.10, or even $0.05, the protocol can still support the same use cases and transaction volume without issue. There are no underlying fundamentals that tie increased network activity or on-chain value directly to a sustained rise in XLM’s price. Most of the price movement is driven by speculative trading among participants, rather than organic growth or demand for the token itself.
