About British Pound / US Dollar
GBP/USD has been called Cable since quotes travelled between London and New York down a transatlantic telegraph line. It moves more than EUR/USD, largely because the UK is a smaller economy with a more reactive central bank, so Bank of England meetings and inflation prints show up hard in the price.

What people do with GBP/USD
The two legs
GBP/USD-L (Long Token)
Rises when British Pound / US Dollar does. Hold it as long as you like: there is no funding and no carry on the long leg.
GBP/USD-S (Short Token)
Rises when British Pound / US Dollar falls, which is what makes it a hedge. The short leg carries a volatility decay, so it is not free to hold.
