Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but there is no tax write off for the potential lost gains while your funds were inaccessible during a crypto exchange's bankruptcy proceeding. You didn't actually realize a gain or loss to have a taxable event when you were unable to access your funds.
This is true whether it's a situation such as you proposed where you could have realized a gain on your crypto, but for the bankruptcy keeping your currencies frozen, or if you would have liquidated your funds and taken cash out to reinvest in another asset.
