On December 29th, Siqi Chen (@blader), the largest holder of MIRA tokens, posted on the X platform that in order to maximize funding for rare disease research over a longer period of time, it has decided to lock up about 1/3 of the MIRA it still owns for one year. At the same time, it will significantly slow down the speed of token sales. It will start selling at a rate of 50,000 MIRAs per hour from 24 hours later. Siqi Chen said that the next steps are still being determined, but promised to use 100% of all funds in the MIRA-related wallet to support rare disease research. Affected by this news, MIRA rose 181.8% in 24 hours to a provisional reading of $0.0222.
