The World Stock Exchange, is a web-based fictional securities exchange developed using Ruby on Rails. The WSE enables virtual companies to raise capital while providing a chance for investors to build their wealth using the fictional Linden Dollar and World Internet Currency that can be sold for real US Dollars.
The World Stock Exchange began normal operations on March 7th 2007 and to date has achieved 25,000 user accounts, raised virtual businesses over L$145 million Linden Dollars and total Exchange Turnover exceeding L$480 million.
The WSE is well-established in the virtual world of Second Life and initially used the Linden Dollar currency in Second Life. In July 2007, the WSE completed the integration of a new fictional currency independent of Second Life called the World Internet Currency (WIC).
