- Web3 gaming platform Oasys has partnered with SBI Holdings to boost blockchain gaming
- The partnership will also involve boosting Oasys’ native token
- Oasys has previously inked partnerships with other arms of SBI Holdings like SBINFT
Web3 gaming platform Oasys has partnered with Japanese financial giant SBI Holdings to support the web3 gaming space. The partnership will see SBI Holdings extend a financial hand to Oasys and help increase the liquidity of OAS, Oasys’ native token. This isn’t the first interaction between the blockchain gaming firm and the financial conglomerate, and marks a glowing interaction between web3 and web2 companies as web2 firms seek to get involved in the developing blockchain world.
Oasys Secures Funding From SBI Group
In a press release, Oasys disclosed that it had “secured funding from SBI Group,” adding that the partnership will accelerate the platform’s growth, something that will improve “synergies with the content and game tokens on the blockchain.”
According to SBI Holdings chairman, Yoshitaka Kitao, Oasys has a lot of potential in the Japanese blockchain gaming arena. Kitao added that the partnership is part of the financial giant’s mission to “expand the use cases for blockchain.”
Oasys’ Ryo Matsubara said that the partnership and funding are important to support new games being released on the Oasys network. This, however, isn’t the first time the two entities are interacting. Oasys has previously listed its token on SBI Holdings’ SBI VC Trade and collaborated with SBINFT Market.
Ubisoft Launches Free NFTs on Oasys
Oasys has also worked with other notable figures in the gaming industry some of whom have become validators on the network while others are game developers. Two months ago, for example, video game publisher Ubisoft announced that it’s giving away free NFTs linked to its upcoming web3 game, Champion Tactics, powered by Oasys.
With Oasys increasing its list of notable partners, it’s to be seen whether the network will become the preferred blockchain for most web3 game developers.
