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

Japanese investment firm Gates Inc. is launching a landmark real estate tokenization initiative targeting $75 million worth of income-generating properties in central Tokyo. The project leverages Oasys blockchain technology to fractionalize ownership, specifically designed to lower barriers for foreign investors in Japan's tightly held property market.

The collaboration marks one of Japan's largest tokenization efforts to date, with an initial liquidity target of $34 billion. Long-term plans envision digitizing over $200 billion in Tokyo assets—approximately 1% of the nation's ¥20.5 trillion real estate sector. "This fusion of our fractional ownership model with Oasys' blockchain infrastructure will redefine access to Japanese property markets," said Gates CEO Yuji Sekino, hinting at potential Nasdaq listing ambitions.
