Gaming-focused blockchain network Oasys is aiming to grow the crypto gaming space in Japan via a new partnership with SBINFT Market, an NFT marketplace that’s run by a subsidiary of SBI Group, the Japanese financial giant based out of Tokyo.
Oasys, a chain that’s garnered interest from traditional video game titans like Ubisoft, Bandai Namco, and Sega, is making a concerted effort to grow the burgeoning blockchain gaming market in Japan.
The SBINFT Market now supports assets from Oasys’ Hub-Layer (layer-1) and MCH Verse (layer-2) blockchains, in addition to its initial integration with Oasys’ HOME Verse. This will allow developers building on Oasys to sell NFTs via the marketplace, if approved by the platform.
“SBINFT Market’s support for Oasys’ Hub-Layer and MCH Verse significantly enhances our ecosystem, providing users and developers with broader opportunities for monetization and engagement within the blockchain gaming space,” said Oasys Director Daiki Moriyama, in a release. “We are excited to deepen our presence in Japan, bringing our unique gaming-focused blockchain solutions to one of the most innovative markets in the world.”
Only NFTs from authorized artists and Oasys-affiliated providers are eligible for listing on SBINFT Market. Launched in 2021, SBINFT lists tokenized assets across categories like digital art, music, in-game items, and event tickets, and facilitates transactions via both cryptocurrencies and credit cards. It also supports NFTs on Ethereum and Polygon.
Key projects on Oasys include the upcoming game Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles from Ubisoft, the gaming giant behind the Assassin’s Creed franchise, as well as the network’s own OASYX NFT collection.
