  Yes, crypto losses are tax deductible. According to the IRS, cryptocurrency is treated as property for tax purposes. This means that if you sell or exchange your cryptocurrency at a loss, you can deduct that loss on your tax return. However, it's important to note that there are specific rules and limitations when it comes to deducting investment losses, so it's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional for guidance.
