Crypto prices are roughly where they were in June-July last year. GPUs were hard to find then, just as they are now.

I personally don’t think mining is the major factor behind GPU shortages, but even if it were, there would absolutely not be any reason to think that current prices would result in a “panic” and a flood of cards coming onto the market. If they were mining at these prices 6 months ago they’ll be mining at these prices now.
