đ GATES Shakes Up Tokyo Real Estate: $75M Property Goes Blockchain via Oasys
Tokyo's skyline meets the blockchain as Japanese real estate giant GATES announces a groundbreaking $75 million property tokenization on Oasys.
### From concrete to crypto
GATES isn't just dipping toesâit's diving headfirst into Web3 by digitizing prime Tokyo assets. The move signals a seismic shift in how institutional players view real estate liquidity.
### Why Oasys wins the infrastructure war
The gaming-focused blockchain beat out competitors for its enterprise-grade throughputâbecause nothing says 'serious finance' like tech built for pixelated dragons.
### The cynical take
While traditional REITs still require actual buildings, GATES proves you can now lose money on Tokyo property without the hassle of physical keysâall from the comfort of your MetaMask wallet.
Oasys pivots to RWA
GATES is working with Oasys, a layer-1 blockchain originally designed for gaming. The network has shifted focus in recent months toward real-world asset (RWA) tokenization as part of a broader effort to apply blockchain tools to traditional sectors like property and finance.
"Japanese content, whether game IP or other cultural assets, commands high global value," said Ryo Matsubara, Representative Director of Oasys. "Providing such Japanese assets as RWAs is an area where Oasys, with its Japanese roots, can fully leverage its strengths."
After rolling out the first phase in Tokyo, GATES said it plans to bring its tokenized real estate model to markets in the U.S., Southeast Asia and Europe.
Future phases may also include tokenized intellectual property rights to Japanese media franchises, turning cultural exports into digital investment products, the firms said.
