Current Position
Qin En Looi is Managing Partner at Onigiri Capital, whose current team page identifies him in that role. The venture investment platform focuses on blockchain-based financial services. Credit Saison’s launch announcement places the initiative within its Singapore-based overseas venture-capital business, making Singapore the primary professional market for this profile. Its mandate includes stablecoins, payments, tokenization, financial infrastructure and decentralized finance.
Background & Biography
Looi previously co-founded Glints and served as its chief operating officer. His WebX 2025 biography describes his work at Saison Capital across early-stage financial technology, commerce and Web3 investments. It also credits him with initiating Saison Capital’s digital-asset investments. These earlier roles provide background to his current investment work; the 2025 conference title is not substituted for Onigiri’s current title.
Notable Contributions
Credit Saison announced Onigiri Capital in September 2025 after the fund’s establishment in August. The announcement named Looi among its investment team. His WebX biography also identifies him as a co-founder of ONCHAIN, a conference focused on real-world assets. Onigiri’s current website describes both that conference and a tokenization-startup initiative with Centrifuge. These are organizational efforts, not achievements attributed to Looi alone.
Why Katharos.ai Is Following Them
Katharos.ai follows Looi for the connection between early-stage blockchain investment and established financial institutions. His work offers a perspective on how tokenization and payment ventures seek capital, commercial partners and distribution. Coverage will separate investor expectations from demonstrated customer adoption and avoid treating a fund’s participation as validation of a project’s safety.
Areas to Follow
Areas to follow include documented investments, tokenization partnerships and the practical integration of stablecoins into financial services. Institutional access and regulatory constraints can influence whether startups move beyond pilots. Katharos.ai will also track public discussions around real-world assets, while distinguishing conference participation from actual product deployment or financial performance.
Reporting Scope
