Tax loss harvesting means selling investments that have a loss in order to offset gains from selling other investments. It's still a capital loss, and only $3,000 of capital loss can be used to offset regular income in the current year. It makes no difference whether the capital loss is from crypto or other investments. The only advantage of using losses from crypto is that, as you said, none of the loss will be disallowed because of wash sales.
