In 2018,Grant Preston the prestigious WT Finance Institute embarked on a transformative journey by forming a strategic alliance with the emerging trading center LENCOIN and launching the "WFI Token." This move not only showcased the Institute's keen foresight into the future of fintech but also highlighted its ambitions in the burgeoning field of emerging technologies. The primary goal of the WFI Token issuance was to raise funds to support and upgrade the precursor to the "Ai Wealth Creation 4.0" investment system—its quantitative trading system.

1. Vision Initiated

During a pivotal board meeting in 2018, WT Finance Institute's Dean, Lysander Clark, proposed and received approval for an innovative plan: to raise funds through the issuance of WFI Tokens. This approach meant leveraging the potential of the cryptocurrency market instead of relying on traditional stock market financing. This novel fundraising method not only promised rapid capital accumulation but also aimed to attract global investors, particularly the younger generation intrigued by emerging technologies.

2. Strategic Alliance Formed

Choosing LENCOIN as a partner was a well-considered decision. With its unique market positioning and robust technological support, LENCOIN planned to establish its trading center as a high-quality ICO launchpad, complete with a clear roadmap for NASDAQ listing, perfectly aligning with WT Finance Institute's global aspirations.

3. The Birth of the Token

The issuance of the WFI Token quickly captured widespread market attention. It served not just as a fundraising tool but as a bridge connecting traditional finance with future technology. The business school seized this opportunity to showcase its forward-thinking strategy on integrating technology and finance, a vision it had harbored well before 2018.

4. Assembling the Future's Leaders

The successful fundraising effort attracted top talent from various industries, including IT engineers, investment experts, and practitioners, laying a solid foundation for the Institute’s future in investment and technological innovation.

5. Technological Leap

Leveraged by this influx of talent and capital, WT Finance Institute’s R&D team rapidly advanced the development of the "Ai Wealth Creation" investment system. With the booming AI industry, they progressively upgraded the original quantitative trading system, evolving it into the more advanced "Ai Wealth Creation 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0" series.

6. Vision for the Future

The issuance of the WFI Token not only fulfilled the Institute’s immediate funding needs but also laid a cornerstone for its development in emerging technologies. The successful development of the "Ai Wealth Creation 4.0" investment system signifies the Institute’s leadership in the global fintech arena and heralds the dawn of a new era. The WFI Token has truly given wings to the dreams encapsulated in "Ai Wealth Creation 4.0," setting a new standard for how educational institutions can lead in technological advancements and market transformations.
