  Yes, there are exceptions to the wash sales rules for digital currencies. According to the IRS, the wash sale rules do not apply to digital currencies if they are treated as property for tax purposes. This means that if you sell a digital currency at a loss and then repurchase it within 30 days, you can still claim the loss on your taxes. However, it's important to consult with a tax professional to ensure you are following the correct guidelines.
