Coinbase cited "low usage" as a reason for delisting the four coins, all of which rose to sizable prominence in the 2017 cryptocurrency bull market.

XRP remains the seventh-largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of $19.6 billion and 24-hour trade volume of almost $1 billion across all exchanges, according to CoinGecko.

BCH and ETC – which are forked versions of the two most popular cryptocurrencies, bitcoin and ether – have both lost large portions of total cryptocurrency market share since being issued over five years ago.

Coinbase declined CoinDesk's request for comment.
