The meme coin MIRA, created on the Solana blockchain, managed to raise $80 million within five hours of its launch. The token was developed by an unknown trader who decided to raise money for the treatment of a sick girl, Mira Chen, suffering from a very rare brain tumor.
It is known that Mira Chen is the youngest daughter of the CEO of the research firm Runway, Siki Chen. After it became known that the girl had a tumor, the crypto community began fundraising, sending digital coins to her father.
Siki Chen confirmed that an unknown trader developed the token called MIRA and sent him half of the total supply of coins. Currently, these crypto assets are valued at $400,000. Chen decided to sell 10% of his tokens, which make up 5% of the total supply of MIRA, for $49,200.
The funds raised will be donated to the Hankinson Laboratory at the University of Colorado. This laboratory is considered the only center in the USA that studies rare types of brain tumors, including the one diagnosed in the girl Mira.
Later, Siki Chen conducted a survey in the MIRA community, deciding to sell another 10% of the coins. These funds are also intended for the research center.
