    Crypto gains and losses are capital gains and losses.  If you have a net capital loss for the year, you can use up to $3,000 of that loss to offset other income.  If you already had a net capital loss from other investments that was greater than $3,000 any additional loss from crypto sales would not change your taxable income.  It would only increase the amount of your capital gains carry forward.
