The crypto community created the meme coin MIRA to raise money for research funding after Siqi Chen shared a post about his daughter's brain tumor diagnosis. The Solana-based token surged more than 700% and accumulated a market cap of $72 million. Chen received half of the token's entire supply, worth $400,000, but expressed hesitance in selling them to avoid rug-pulling investors. He plans to sell 10% of the supply and use 5% for research funding, while holding onto the rest. All proceeds will go towards funding research for the rare brain tumor.
