Gates Inc to Tokenize $75 Million in Tokyo Real Estate on Oasys Blockchain

- Japanese firm Gates Inc. to tokenize $75 million in Tokyo real estate. - Project leverages Oasys blockchain, expanding its use beyond gaming. On July 10, 2025, Cointelegraph reported that Gates Inc. will launch a groundbreaking project to tokenize $75 million in central Tokyo real estate using the Oasys blockchain. This project marks a major shift for Oasys as it moves beyond its gaming roots into the tokenization of real-world assets. The project aims to help foreign investors overcome longstanding hurdles in the Japanese real estate market, such as legal, regulatory, and language barriers. In addition, Gates Inc. has ambitious plans for expansion, targeting the tokenization of over $200 billion in properties, which is nearly 1% of Japan's total real estate market. To maintain compliance, the firm will operate through an overseas special purpose vehicle. The company, which earned $145 million in revenue for 2024, is also conducting a Nasdaq roadshow to attract further investment. The global real estate tokenization market is expanding rapidly, with projections showing it could reach over $4 trillion by 2035 at a compound annual growth rate of 27%. This innovative technology addresses the liquidity challenges of traditional real estate by enabling fractional ownership. By lowering entry barriers, tokenization provides access to a more diverse base of investors and offers liquidity benefits to property owners and developers. Through its collaboration with Oasys, Gates Inc. plans to expand internationally, targeting regions including the United States, Europe, and other parts of Asia. Furthermore, future initiatives may broaden the scope of tokenization to include intellectual property, such as from Japan’s soft power sectors like gaming and anime.
