Oasys has formed a strategic partnership with SBI Holdings, one of Japan’s largest financial conglomerates, and has successfully secured funding. Leveraging all the resources of the group, Oasys will work to improve the liquidity of OAS tokens and strengthen the growing Oasys ecosystem.
Oasys is a gaming blockchain with a highly scalable Layer 1 hub and specialized Layer 2 using Ethereum’s Layer 2 scaling solution. The ecosystem provides game developers with a secure and scalable blockchain infrastructure for creating more efficient, secure, and interoperable games. Among Oasys’ validators are leaders in gaming and Web3, such as SEGA, Ubisoft, and Yield Guild Games, who act as initial validators in our Proof-of-Stake (PoS) based blockchain. Oasys’ expert blockchain team, combined with the biggest names in gaming, is revolutionizing the gaming industry.
Since the inception of Oasys, several major gaming companies have joined as validators and collaborators, working on numerous blockchain games that are scheduled for release later in 2024. To support the success of these titles, Oasys has secured funding from the SBI Group and entered into a strategic partnership aimed at further improving the liquidity of OAS tokens.
Previously, Oasys has collaborated with the SBI Group in various ways, including by listing OAS tokens on SBI VC Trade in May 2023 and by integrating with SBINFT Market. This new partnership and funding will accelerate the growth of the Oasys ecosystem, enhancing synergies with the content and game tokens on the blockchain.
“Oasys is a highly promising project as a blockchain from Japan specifically designed for use in gaming. From its inception, it has included several globally renowned major game development companies as initial validators. Our group has been actively investing in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space from an early stage, starting with investments in Ripple in 2016 and R3 in 2017, and we have built an ecosystem capable of offering a wide range of products and services. Through our partnership with Oasys, we endeavour to further expand the use cases for blockchain technology.” said Yoshitaka Kitao, Representative Director, Chairman, President & CEO of SBI Holdings, Inc.
SBI Group has previously assisted multiple companies and a well-known web3 project with its scaling and growth to a point of consistently ranking among the top 10 by market capitalization. The company’s ongoing support and invaluable expertise was a core pillar in achieving such results — something we look forward to replicating with Oasys. We remain committed towards working to become the launchpad that propels Japanese Web3 content to the world.
