In a bold push to modernize property investment, Japan’s GATES Inc. has revealed plans to tokenize $75 million worth of income-generating assets in the heart of Tokyo.
The initiative is part of a larger vision to open Japan’s traditionally domestic real estate market to international investors through blockchain-powered infrastructure.
The company will use the Oasys network—a blockchain initially built for gaming but now pivoting toward real-world asset tokenization—to handle the transition. News of the project has already stirred market interest, sending the OAS token’s trading volume up 25% in a single day.
According to CEO Yushi Sekino, the move is designed to offer global investors access to Japan’s stable, high-demand property sector via tokens that blend profitability with flexibility. GATES ultimately aims to tokenize up to $200 billion in assets, targeting 1% of the country’s vast real estate market.
The broader trend of tokenizing real-world assets is accelerating as investors seek more accessible and efficient ways to participate in traditionally illiquid markets. With the legal frameworks evolving and institutional interest rising, Japan could emerge as a key player in the race to merge blockchain with real estate at scale.
