Gates Group Will Turn $75 Million of Tokyo Property into Digital Tokens Using Oasys Blockchain

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

Japanese property investment firm Gates Group Inc. is working with Oasys blockchain to turn $75 million worth of Tokyo real estate into digital tokens.

This move will allow people around the world to buy small shares of these properties using a Web3 wallet, making it easier for investors to join in — even from outside Japan.

Normally, investing in Japanese real estate can be tough for foreigners because of legal rules, high costs, and language issues. But by using blockchain technology, these problems could be reduced or even removed.

Gates Group CEO Yuji Sekino said he’s excited about the partnership. The company made about $145 million in revenue in 2024 and has been recognized by the Financial Times as one of Asia-Pacific’s fastest-growing companies for two years in a row.

Oasys, originally a blockchain platform for games, has now shifted its focus to real-world asset (RWA) tokenization in Asia. Their system supports easy transfers, works with Web3 wallets, and is designed to handle big investments.

The first stage of this plan is focused on income-generating buildings in central Tokyo. But Gates wants to go further — it hopes to eventually tokenize $200 billion worth of real estate, which is about 1% of Japan’s $20.5 trillion property market. The company also plans to go public on Nasdaq.

Looking ahead, Gates and Oasys plan to expand into other countries, including the U.S., the Philippines, Asia, and Europe.
