The Japanese real estate investment firm Gates Group Inc. has partnered with Oasys, a blockchain-based game development platform, to tokenize $75 million worth of Tokyo real estate assets on the Oasys blockchain platform.
Following the Tokyo rollout, the new partnership’s strategy plans to tokenize over $200 billion in Gates holdings, which the companies identified as being the equivalent of approximately 1% of Japan’s entire $20.5 trillion real estate market. The partnership plans to further expand internationally, targeting the US, Southeast Asia and Europe.
“Japanese content—whether game IP or other cultural assets—commands high global value,” said Ryo Matsubara, representative director of Oasys. “Providing such ‘Japanese assets’ as RWAs is an area where Oasys, with its Japanese roots, can fully leverage its strengths,”
“We are pleased to partner with Oasys to jointly deliver Japanese real estate as Real-World Assets globally,” said Gates CEO Yuji Sekino. “With approximately $145 million in revenue generated in 2024 and earning recognition on Financial Times ‘High-Growth Companies Asia-Pacific’ for two consecutive years, Gates brings substantial credibility and proven expertise to this initiative. By uniting our deep experience in the Japanese real estate market and fractional ownership model with Oasys’ blockchain expertise, we aim to drive innovation and expand access to investment opportunities in Japanese real estate. As we continue to explore a Nasdaq listing, we look forward to leveraging the expansion of our real estate operations into the RWA market as a catalyst for future growth.”
