Oasys, a blockchain platform specializing in the gaming industry, announced a strategic partnership with Japan’s financial conglomerate, SBI Holdings, according to an Aug. 29 press release.
The partnership includes a financial investment from SBI Holdings, which will be used to increase the liquidity of Oasys’ native OAS tokens and support the continued expansion of its blockchain ecosystem.
Financial details of the deal were not disclosed as of press time.

The latest partnership seeks to further strengthen these ties, enabling Oasys to scale its operations and improve the infrastructure needed to support the launch of multiple blockchain-based games scheduled for release later this year.
The games have been developed in collaboration with prominent gaming companies such as SEGA and Ubisoft, which also serve as validators on the Oasys platform, in an effort to create “Triple A” web3 games.
