The crypto wash-sale loophole (and why it won't last forever)
Most traders don't realize the IRS wash-sale rule (which blocks you from claiming a loss if you rebuy the same security within 30 days) technically does NOT apply to crypto the same way it applies to stocks — because crypto is classified as property, not a security.
That means right now, you can:
Sell a losing position to realize the tax loss
Immediately rebuy the same asset (no 30-day wait required)
Keep your market exposure while banking the loss to offset gains
This is one of the single highest-leverage moves an active trader can make before year-end — and most people never do it because they're not tracking cost basis and unrealized losses systematically.
That's exactly the gap the Crypto Tax Loss Harvest System closes — a live tracker + call vault built specifically to help you spot and execute these windows before they close (legislation has been proposed multiple years running to close this loophole, so don't assume it's permanent).
