Indeed, the position of coins in CMC is always changing, except for ETH and Bitcoin. However, this does not mean that the coin no longer has good potential in the future, it's just that the project developers are currently more focused on new coins to pump them. So the coin became popular. Maybe NEAR will get the chance. Because NEAR is also part of a good project.
Yes, it could be so, because when the new coins can be maximally successful and become popular in the near future, the project developers will also have more funds to pump their old coins to the next level and thus also be able to keep the new coins they are building continuously slowly in the crypto space
