Economic Times:
Tulip mania is used as a metaphor to describe an economic bubble. People start investing in a particular asset in large quantities because of positive sentiments about it. This pushes the prices of that asset to very high levels. After reaching a peak, prices suffer a sharp fall due to an extensive sell off, leaving the asset holders bankrupt. These assets are metaphorically called tulips.
Example sentences:
Tulip mania gets brought up again and again, as a warning to investors not to be stupid, or to stay away from what some might call a good thing. (The Conversation)
The enduring power of so-called Tulip Mania means it still gets trotted out in 2018 when people talk about Bitcoin, which reached a record high last November, but has since fluctuated in value. (BBC.com)
But even if a form of tulip mania did strike Holland in 1636, did it reach every rung of society, from landed gentry to chimney-sweeps? Goldgar says no. Most of the buyers were the sort you would expect to be speculating in luxury goods—people who could afford it. (History)

Definition from
strefainvestorow:
Masowa spekulacja cebulkami bezwartościowych w gruncie rzeczy kwiatów, pęknięcie bańki spekulacyjnej na skutek szaleństwa tłumów, samobójstwa bankrutów, gospodarka w ruinie – takie jest popularne wyobrażenie XVII-wiecznej holenderskiej tulipomanii. Tymczasem wyglądała ona inaczej – przekonuje profesor historii z King's College London.<br /><br />O Tulipomanii słyszał chyba każdy inwestor. W wieku XVII, dokładnie w latach 1636-37, ceny cebulek tulipanów w Holandii wzrosły zawrotnie – w szczytowym momencie za jedną cebulkę tulipanów rzadkiej odmiany oferowany równowartość kamienicy. W lutym 1637 roku ta bańka pękła. Do niedawna tulipomania była uważana za największą bańkę spekulacyjną w historii, złośliwi twierdzą, że przebije ją dopiero Bitcoin.
Example sentences:
Szaleństwo Holendrów, czyli mania tulipanowa. Ostre zmiany cen bitcoinów (i innych kryptowalut), a w szczególności trudny do wytłumaczenia (niezalezna)
Goldman Sachs: bańka na bitcoinie gorsza niż mania tulipanowa. (puls biznesu)
