Tokyo, Japan, July 11, 2025 – GATES GROUP, Inc. (“GATES” or the “Company”), a leading Japanese real estate investment firm, announced a strategic partnership with Oasys, a blockchain-based game development platform, to tokenize $75 million worth of prime Tokyo real estate assets on the Oasys blockchain platform. This initiative marks one of the largest real estate tokenization projects in Japan and 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 in Japan 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 of properties through simple Web3 wallet transactions on decentralized exchanges.
This 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 underscores the sector’s rapidly accelerating growth potential.
While originally a blockchain-based game development platform, Oasys has since strategically pivoted to specialize in Asian RWA tokenization. The Oasys platform’s 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.
“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.”
Future 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.
Following the establishment of operations in Japan, the partnership plans to expand internationally, targeting high-value regions such as the United States, 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.
