Trade isn't a zero-sum game at all. Otherwise, people wouldn't trade at all and earn a living from it. Ponzis are zero-sum games. It's not what trading is.
Rather, daily trading is about speculation, aka a price discovery service dynamically provided by lots of people to ensure market price is as close as possible to the value everyone is willing to give to an asset at any point in time.
Of course, just like with any other service, speculators aren't perfect and they sometimes win, sometimes lose, and some speculators are too bad at it not to consistently lose capital from it (until they stop by lack of funds they're willing to risk in such activity).
But overall, it is a useful service: it's what ensures other people can get the best possible price when trading a pair of assets.
And speculators are paid for that useful service, because people are ready to pay a tiny bit more for a price that is known to be much closer than what most people would agree to pay for (instead of having to rely on a centralized third-party that would take a much bigger cut through a premium, for instance like what sometimes happens with physical gold).
Beyond daily trading, it's much more than speculation: it's investment in general. It's assessing all the future use cases an asset may provide for and how much value all people interested in such use cases are ready to pay for it.
