Major Japanese Real Estate Firm GATES to Tokenize $75M Holdings on Oasys Blockchain

Tokyo, Japan — July 10th, 2025 Today, GATES Inc., a leading Japanese real estate investment firm, announced a strategic partnership with Oasys to tokenize an initial $75 million worth of prime Tokyo real estate assets on the Oasys blockchain. This initiative marks one of the largest real estate tokenization projects in Japan. It represents a significant expansion for Oasys beyond its gaming origins into the rapidly growing real-world asset (RWA) market.

Breaking Down Global Real Estate Investment Barriers

Traditional real estate investment has historically excluded foreign investors due to complex legal requirements, language barriers, and expensive attorney fees. The tokenization of GATES' properties eliminates these obstacles by enabling global investors to purchase fractional ownership through simple Web3 wallet transactions on decentralized exchanges.

"GATES has long bridged real demand and investor needs in Japan’s property market. Through this initiative, we will add firm value to Japan’s highly reliable real-estate assets by means of tokens that combine profitability and utility, building next-generation investment infrastructure that allows global investors easy access to Japanese assets." said Yuji Sekino, CEO of GATES Inc.

Capitalizing on Global Tokenization Momentum

The partnership positions Japan at the forefront of the global real estate tokenization trend. Recent developments, including Dubai's $18 billion in tokenized real estate sales, New Jersey's $240 billion property deed tokenization, and multiple billion-dollar fund investments in tokenized properties, demonstrate the sector's explosive growth.

GATES brings substantial credibility to this initiative, having generated approximately $145 million in revenue for 2024 and earning recognition on the Financial Times "High-Growth Companies Asia-Pacific" list for two consecutive years. The company is currently conducting a NASDAQ roadshow following the filing of its public Form F-1 prospectus.

Ambitious Expansion Plans

The initial $75 million tokenization focuses on income-producing properties in central Tokyo, representing the beginning of a more comprehensive strategy. Phase 1 plans call for expanding token liquidity to $34 billion, with the ultimate goal of tokenizing over $200 billion in GATES holdings, equivalent to approximately 1% of Japan's entire $20.5 trillion real estate market.

“Japanese content—whether game IP or other cultural assets—commands high global value. Providing such 'Japanese assets' as RWAs is an area where Oasys, with its Japanese roots, can fully leverage its strengths,” said Ryo Matsubara, Representative Director of Oasys.

Oasys Evolution and Technical Capabilities

Oasys has strategically pivoted from its gaming-focused origins to specialize in Asian RWA tokenization. The Layer 1 blockchain utilizes Proof of Stake consensus and EVM compatibility, enabling seamless integration with standard Web3 wallets and easy asset bridging from other popular blockchain networks.

This technical infrastructure positions Oasys as an ideal platform for institutional-grade tokenization while maintaining the accessibility and composability that DeFi users expect.

Global Market Expansion Strategy

Following the establishment of Japanese operations, the partnership plans international expansion targeting high-value regions including the United States, the Philippines, broader Asia, and Europe. This phased approach leverages the credibility and operational expertise developed in Japan's sophisticated real estate market.

The initiative will eventually incorporate Japan's world-renowned intellectual properties—including gaming, anime, and manga assets—creating a diversified portfolio that maximizes investor opportunities.
