Could you please clarify the tax implications of cryptocurrency losses and their potential to offset capital gains? As the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, I'm interested in understanding if investors can leverage their losses from certain crypto transactions to reduce their overall tax burden. Specifically, are there any regulations or legal precedents that allow for the deduction of crypto losses against gains made in other investment portfolios? Would this vary by country or jurisdiction? Thank you for your insight into this complex financial topic.

However, it's worth noting that cryptocurrency does not fall under the purview of wash sales regulations.

This distinction is crucial as wash sales typically involve the repurchase of securities within a short period after their sale, often to manipulate tax outcomes.

Since cryptocurrency is not considered a security, it is exempt from such regulations.
