Gates Inc to Tokenize $75M Tokyo Real Estate on Oasys
Gates Inc has announced plans to tokenize a $75 million Tokyo real estate asset on the Oasys blockchain, launching security tokens to enable fractional ownership. Scheduled for issuance in Q3 2024 via an offshore SPV, the security tokens will comply with local regulations and be supported by a digital custodian for secure settlement and secondary-market trading. By leveraging Oasys’s high-throughput, low-fee architecture and automated tokenomics, Gates aims to streamline asset issuance, boost liquidity, and deliver compound yields through automatic reinvestment. This real estate tokenization project, one of Japan’s largest to date, marks a key step in Gates’s roadmap to tokenize over $200 billion in assets—about 1% of Japan’s property market. Both Gates and Oasys plan to expand this model globally, targeting the US, Europe, and other Asian markets, with future phases possibly covering IP assets like games and anime. The move underscores growing institutional demand for blockchain-based asset management and aligns with forecasts that tokenized real estate could exceed $4 trillion by 2035.
Bullish
The announcement signals strong demand for Oasys’s blockchain and drives real estate tokenization adoption, likely boosting OAS token utility and trading volume. In the short term, market attention and partnership news could trigger a price uptick. Over the long term, successful rollout of large-scale real estate tokenization may cement Oasys as a leading RWA platform, supporting sustained token demand and network growth.
