Japanese real estate investment firm Gates Group Inc. has partnered with Oasys blockchain to tokenize $75 million worth of real estate assets in Tokyo.
In a statement released Friday, Gates said that the tokenized assets, hosted on the Oasys blockchain, would allow global investors to gain fractional ownership of income-generating real estate through Web3 wallet transactions.
Such an approach would potentially eliminate longstanding barriers — including legal complexity, high fees, and language hurdles — that have traditionally restricted foreign investment in Japanese real estate, according to the statement.
“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.”
Oasys, originally known as a blockchain gaming development platform, has strategically repositioned itself to specialize in Asian RWA tokenization. Its EVM-compatible, proof-of-stake network is tailored for interoperability, offering seamless asset bridging and Web3 wallet compatibility — features critical to scaling institutional participation in tokenized assets.
The $75 million tokenization plan — focusing on income-producing properties in central Tokyo — represents just the first stage of the pair’s broader strategy. Gates, which eyes a Nasdaq listing, said it plans to scale token liquidity to $34 billion and eventually tokenize over $200 billion in Gates’ holdings assets, or roughly 1% of Japan’s $20.5 trillion real estate market.
Future expansions are set to target key international markets, including the U.S., the Philippines, and broader Asia and Europe, according to the press release.
