Coinbase cited “low usage” as the basis for delisting the four coins, all of which rose to prominence during the 2017 bitcoin bull market.

In order to view or transfer these assets after Jan. 23rd, you will need to import your recovery phrase on another non-custodial wallet provider that supports these networks.
