Japanese Firm GATES Inc. to Tokenize $75M in Tokyo Real Estate on Oasys Blockchain

GATES Inc., a Tokyo-based real estate firm, is spearheading one of Japan's largest asset tokenization projects with plans to digitize $75 million worth of prime Tokyo properties. The initiative marks the first phase of an ambitious roadmap targeting $200 billion in tokenized assets—equivalent to 1% of Japan's entire real estate market.

The tokenization will leverage Oasys blockchain, traditionally known for gaming infrastructure, as it pivots toward real-world asset applications. Initial offerings will focus on income-generating central Tokyo properties, designed to democratize access and enhance market liquidity. GATES projects $34 billion in eventual liquidity from the program.

CEO Yushi Sekino confirmed all necessary Japanese financial and real estate licenses are secured, with operations structured through an overseas SPV for regulatory compliance. The firm, which recorded $145 million revenue in 2023 and earned a spot on the Financial Times' Asia-Pacific growth list, is concurrently preparing for a Nasdaq listing after filing its F-1 form.
