July 10, 2025 — Japanese real estate firm Gates Inc. plans to tokenize $75 million worth of central Tokyo properties using the Oasys blockchain. The move marks one of Japan’s largest real estate tokenization projects so far.
Gates Inc., which generated $145 million in 2024 revenue, is partnering with blockchain network Oasys to launch real estate tokenization in Japan. The project will start with $75 million worth of Tokyo properties but could grow to over $200 billion roughly 1% of Japan’s real estate market.
Gates CEO Yushi Sekino confirmed that the firm has secured the necessary licenses in Japan. To ensure regulatory compliance, the project will be executed through an overseas SPV.
Oasys, originally focused on gaming, is expanding into real-world asset tokenization. Founder Ryo Matsubara said the goal is to create a token economy that automatically reinvests returns to maximize growth.
Interest in real estate tokenization is rising worldwide. In Dubai, tokenized property sales have reached $18 billion. In New Jersey, $240 billion in property deeds are being digitized. A recent Deloitte report forecasts the global market could exceed $4 trillion by 2035, up from less than $300 billion in 2024.
Polygon Labs CEO Mark Boiron recently noted that tokenization could solve real estate’s liquidity problems by allowing fractional ownership and broader investor access.
Gates Inc.’s push into real estate tokenization could set new standards for Japan’s financial market. Blockchain can make property ownership more transparent, liquid, and accessible to global investors.
The companies also plan to tokenize other assets, including Japanese gaming and anime intellectual property, bringing new use cases to blockchain technology.
Japan has the world’s third-largest real estate market, valued at over $20 trillion. Tokenizing even 1% of this market could unlock hundreds of billions of dollars in new investment opportunities.
