Here's what I don't understand - relation between Ethereum (ETH) and ERC20?:
- ETH is a cryptocurrency listed on exchanges like this: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/
- and I thought ERC20 is a token standard based on ETH, but it is also listed? https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/erc20/

Why are they different? And why ERC20 is gaining 400% while ETH goes up by only 5%?

I would appreciate any explanation. Thanks!

Isn`t ERC20 just another token like all the rest? They conveniently based their name as the platform used to create these tokes?
From what I have read so far (warning : it will be my view not an exact explanation) ERC20 is a system used to create Tokens based on the Ethereum blockchain.
I hope my understanding of this complex system is at least a bit right

That's what my understanding here is as well Which makes it even more strange to see these exchange rates and ERC20 as a Token in it's own right
