  Yes, short term capital losses can be used to offset ordinary income in the cryptocurrency industry. This is a common practice among traders and investors. By selling your cryptocurrency assets at a loss, you can reduce your taxable income. However, it's important to note that there are certain rules and limitations. For example, you can only deduct up to $3,000 in capital losses against ordinary income per year. Any remaining losses can be carried forward to future years. It's advisable to consult with a tax professional to understand the specific requirements and optimize your tax strategy.
