  Yes, it is possible to deduct cryptocurrency losses from your taxable income. The IRS treats cryptocurrency as property, so losses from the sale or exchange of cryptocurrency can be deducted as capital losses. However, there are certain rules and limitations that apply. It is recommended to consult with a tax professional or accountant to ensure compliance with tax laws and to properly report your cryptocurrency losses on your tax return.
