The trader could sell the options before it expires, or secure a position within the spot foreign currency. Once the option is exercised, the spot market immediately assumes a "spot" position.

As soon as the expiration date appears on the horizon, the buyer of the option will need to purchase the currency's spot position, or sell the option at its strike price.
